3 Piece wheel question

Anybody ever have the bolts/rivets pop out of a wheel? I was washing my car the other day and noticed one wheel was missing two bolts right next to each other. Thought it was kind of strange.

Hoping ADV can sell individual rivets and not give me a headache about it. I'm about to just offload these ADV's so I can get a set of CCW's for my 1 series and just ride around on OEMs for the c63 which still look good.

They are most likely nuts and bolts, not rivets, so you will be able to get some more and easily replace them.

They are bolts & nuts, ADV should be able to sell them to you.

I believe it might be caused by the person who disassembled it for painting/ powdercoating & didnt torque them back properly. You're better checking all of them before you cause an accident. I believe you need around 25lbs of torque.

Thanks for the advice. Just new to the whole 3 piece wheel game. Hopefully the bolts are easy to come by

Just wanted to put a big public shout out thank you to AcutePerformance as well as ADV for solving this problem for me very quickly.

-- AcutePerformance, Thanks for going well out of your way to help. I'll be sure I do my next order of business through you as a sign of my appreciation. Small things like this make all the difference. Besides, I'm starting to browse wheels for my 135i. We'll be in touch

you should recheck all the bolts and make sure there's some loctite on the bolts, or you may be losing more down the road.

Yeah. I just assumed they were reassembled the way they should've been... Acute and ADV have advised me on what to look for at this point
