Beauty Ring Bolts

[VictoryLights]

I am looking for the beauty ring bolts in a chrome finish. I know that they use a T45 torx pattern, but I’m not sure what else to search for in order to find this. Can anyone help?

The only thing I can locate is this which is black and I think designed for the actual bead lock ring rather than the fake ones:

When I did custom work we would get all of our nice bolts at Fastenal. They're a national chain so I'm sure you probably have one near you, they're always really helpful when trying to find something.

Thank you. Does anyone know what type of bolts they are? I’m not an expert.

Most likely socket button head. This place is where I order fancy hardware:

Another member was kind enough to share this link with me:

Not trying to hijack this but we installed rings on a new unit and had to drill 6 of the mother f'ers out due to round off. Couple things we've noticed. One, the socket isn't deep enough for a Torx. Two, the major problem these are difficult to extract is because of the yellow Loc-Tite applied to the bolt from the factory. Three, steel bolt, aluminum ring, aluminum wheel, frequent exposure to water, road salts and chemicals. Tell me, metallurgists, what do you think is going to happen in 6 months when you want to take them off?

I'm trying to find aftermarket replacements since $12.00/ea, 12 per wheel, isn't going to cut it. Button head, M 10X1.5X25. Head is 16.3mm wide and just under 5mm high. The recess in the ring is approx. 17mm wide so the standard bolts I've seen that are 17-17.5mm wide, aren't going to work. These really need to be some flavor of stainless that can be coated/plated black. Ready, set, go!

Another option for hard to find hardware

I ended up ordering these. I will end up polishing them and then determining whether I like them or keep the black:

The correct size is M10-1.5 x 25mm

Can you let us know if this worked? I am thinking the stainless steel will breakup the all black ring and black rim. Thanks

Yes. I should be getting my black rings any day now. I was planning on choosing between black and stainless steel bolts once I get them.

The bolts are custom made for Ford. Very unlikely that you will find an exact match off the shelf. You may find something that is close enough and works, but you won't find the exact Ford part.

I trust that you are an expert on this topic of silver bolts

Did these fit the rings? Thinking about breaking up some black with these bolts.

Yes they fit

Thinking about placing an order for them but do you have any pics before I do? Thank you
