Sepang Woes
Posted: Tue Jul 25, 2023 2:04 pm
I have had my X350 for nearly 6 years now,it has 20 inch Sepangs fitted,a pain to clean but they look superb IMO,I just wonder if I am lucky enough to be the only one experiencing problems with them.
I had them refurbed pre Covid,on getting them back the guy who did the job told me I should have the titanium bolts replaced,to be fair they did look tatty & let the wheels down.
Fast forward to after lockdown & the guy has gone out of business,trying to replace the bolts myself I found that several had their heads stripped,two had their heads broken off,eventually after a long search in March I found someone willing to take on a full refurb,all seemed well until the weekend when returning from a show the steering felt strange & I pulled over to find 6 bolts had come out of the RHF,the company that did the refurb have taken the wheel away to examine it,anybody else had any such problems with these wheels guys?
