Is there anyone who has a scrap Tornado wheel they don't want? I'm after some of the stainless cap head screws that fit around the rim. Iv'e had a wheel refurbed and a few of the screws sheared off. If I can get replacements I can extract the tails and glued the replacement screws in. Its a crap design putting stainless into alloy without any jointing compound.

The screws on Ebay etc are not quite the same.

Hope you’re not running it with any stripped, sheared or missing wheel studs
From personal experience with a buddy we had a couple of sheared bolts and the rim blew out popping several like press studs. 70+ on the autoroute was not fun in a Jeep

I’d use similar off eBay until you get oem if you have to use the rims/s

If fake and not structural then no issue

The Jag Tornado wheels are fake torx capped bolts. Ok to glue in. 👍
