First, I'm very happy with the all black look. The silver rings just weren't doing it for me. All black much better.
But... The Torx bolts. THEY SUCK. I stripped 3 and they are $10 EACH. That's for a crappy bolt.
And why Torx bolts? They are so easy to strip (before you jump on me I DO have the correct size Torx plus bit) and not very easy to keep the bit on them. They are not very deep.
When I took them off they had some yellow stuff on the threads... I guess some kind of thread locker? Anyway that stuff dried in the wheel threads and it's preventing the bolts from threading in easily. I have to sit and scrape each hole out and then try to put these in without stripping any more.
Are there any kind of aftermarket replacements that don't cost $600 just for a set of bolts that are garbage?
Not a fan of the Torx.
