    I know they're popular in this community, anyone else run these year round in a 4 season climate? The fake beadlock bolts are beat, it looks awful. I had a set of FAST brand similar style rims on my old FJ cruiser and never had this issue.

    I know Method has stainless bolts available but unfortunately for me in Canada they would be like $200+USD to get to my door after delivery/customs/exchange rate. They seem like a standard hex bolt but are a comically short 8mm thread.

    I found a good deal on the 316 hex (50 bucks) but the 10mm is slightly too long. If you ratchet in you end up tapping the extra 2mm..although it does “work”

    8mm long MRW bolts seems like they’re proprietary

    I might have a set of stainless method bolts in my garage. I was going to have them powder coated but never got to it.

    if you’re interested let me know and I’ll look for them

    Thanks appreciate the offer! I ended up using the 10mm length bolts I got with a thicker stainless washer and it turned out well, no vibration issues either
