Posts: 96I split them myself as I wanted fresh bolts at the same time, plus it make polishing the outers easier. Might even go with new outers yet depending on cost.
November 16, 2015 at 5:51 pm #11354I always loved the V5’s, had them on mine for many years, tough looking rim. I wish they did them in 19’s or 20’s with the stepped rather than flat dish that the FR’s 19 and 20’s have, i’d have them again.
You getting the outer’s professionally polished?

Posts: 96I will give them a go myself first. After dropping $750 on polishing the 5 SLE rims, it is probably time to save some money on these lol.
November 17, 2015 at 9:01 pm #11397Do you know the torque specs/pattern for Simmons or you just winging it?

Posts: 5 777Wow, 20Nm isn’t a lot, surprised by that, but I guess they are small.
When I did all the bolts that hold the hat to the rotors on my breaks I used a cordless on a low torque setting then just finished them off with the torque wrench.

If you find the pattern specs I’d really appreciate it if you could pass them on

Posts: 96Does your powder coater have any issues doing the 3 piece v5s? I’ve been thinking of getting some of my Simmons 3 piece done but have been unsure on how to go about it in terms of masking off the mating faces etc so they don’t get a build up of powder where they need to mate. Will you be re-assembling them yourself?
The areas can be masked during coating and tape removed before the oven. I had the area described taped as well as where the badge goes into the wheel. Lucky I cracked a cap assembling the first round when they were the wrong colour and was able to rectify during recoating. I was going to reassemble myself but will drop them off to a wheel repairer this week to polish the outers, silicon, reassemble and fit tyres back on.
