I just installed my ATX slabs 3 weeks ago and the beadlock bolts started rusting almost immediately. Is this an issue or did I get bad bolts? I think it could be an issue when removing them.
just use some WD-40 and clean the rust off and keep them preserved.
Did you get black bolts? That's what mine came with and they are not corrosion resistant at all. Mine were rusted good after the first week. I have since changed them out to a coated corrosion resistant bolt. View attachment 138977 View attachment 138978
These were fairly cheep at 60ish dollars for 100. If they don't last I guess I'll get stainless like what used to come with the wheels.
Thanks, How do you like the Factor 55 prolink?
I'm surprised that they don't come with stainless steel bolts.
I ordered mine from Northridge. They came with the black bolts. Rusted very quickly too. I shot an email back to them with pictures and three days later I had a box with new silver bolts from the manufacture!!! Great CS right there.
Received four wheels with black bolts and one with silver. All black bolts are now rusted after one week. I'm going to fastenal to buy stainless.
Why not call the manufacturer?
I tried but never got a response. Not a big deal, though. Everything in Louisiana rusts.
