Rock Warrior Wheel Refinishing - Pics or opinions wanted

[Markuson]

When getting RW refinished (painted or powder coated), does anyone know if the bolts can be purchased separately? I am going to have a set of RWs PowderCoated satin/matte black, but would like the option to use different color bolts for the rings.

You can but they’re silly expensive for what they are… As they are four dollars each screw.

Do the math on a full set it you’re talking a couple hundred $. Crazy. If anyone finds a great substitute screw, I’ll be all ears!

Really only $2/screw, but yes, they are expensive: TRD Lock Ring Torx Fasteners for 1 17 wheel PTR45-34073

In theory, any M8 x 1.0 screw should work, but good luck finding any in stainless like the OEM screws.

HTH

Would rather them in Satin/Matte Black

Your local fastener supply (Fastenal, Grainger, Bolt & Nut Supply, ect...) can probably assist.

I’ve tried those. No joy...but @gaijin found a set of 12. I had only ever found them individually...so the set of 12 is a way better price...$2/per each.

Thanks gaijin!

Any pics of them in white?

Sure. In the mud

In the museum

In the air

White on red looks sweet! Nice work. I'd imagine that the powder coating is fairly durable given the abuse of racing?

It has held up great. While they see extreme use for 1200 miles at a time, they then get pulled, cleaned and re-installed before the next race so overall wear/tear isn't crazy.

I think if I can get these for the right price and maybe powder coat them at some point they will be a nice addition.

This should answer the question about whether black LC's show the dirt!

Sure. In the mud

I should have a set of all matte/satin black RWs with 285/70r17 KO2s on a matte/satin Grey LC200 early next week.

anyone have any issues with powder coat flaking off or scratching easily?

Wheels are done at the PowderCoaters...center caps are getting painted matte/satin grey tomorrow. I should have them mounted on Nitto 285/70r17 Ridge Grapplers late Monday afternoon. Lighting permitting, I will post a picture up then...if not, soon thereafter. Here are the wheels though:

wow, those look amazing. Nice work!

thanks...quick preview with the center caps painted in matte/satin grey (not going to install them until tires are mounted in a couple days).
