Type 89 speedline bolts/rivets.

I'm still short about 3 wheels worth of the above rivets (the little plastic bolts that fit in the rims).

If anyone has any kicking around in a draw or knows anyone actually selling them (tried my local audi dealers) then there are beer tokens in it for you!!

how do they come out matey? ive got 2 wheels lying in the garden that i may be willing to sacrifice lol my b4 80 quattro came with speedlines but they had a deeper dish and stainless allen bolts rather than the plastic 1s.... just throwing another option in there

If you manage to get them off, then they are going to be pretty much useless.

if you pm Martin (RetroAuto) off here, he managed to buy some genuine Speedline bolts from America somewhere, might have even been somewhere very random like Argentina!
Didn't work out cheap though but it was the only place to get the correct ones.
Demon tweeks do sell similar style Speedline bolts, and I'm sure some specialist companies will be able to source them. We had a set of 18" Porsche Speedlines refurbed by a company called Lap Tab in Birmingham about 4 years ago and they managed to source a set of bolts, and they were very similar in style to the ones on the Speeddlines fitted to B3 90s' and Coupes.

I need two - did car a full clean on Saturday didnt notice anything a miss, but after we got to the BC on Sunday Lewis noticed two missing on the offside front. Had two new tyres fitted on Friday, could be a connection me thinks

Theres an SAE on its way matey!

As above really they destroy removing them, I really can't find these anywhere, it's to the point I'm even looking at a way to make the damned things.

Are they not still available ? 893 071 788

Hey Mike.

None of the dealers I've tried have them or even any success with the part number, that said there will be some somewhere in a drawer in a dealer somewhere.

If anyone can find any for me there are beer tokens in it for them.
