I'm working on a refurbishing of 20" Sentas for my 2007 XKR. The "decorative" bolts have an usual spline design (at least to me). Not the typical internal patterns that I have in my tool box. Does anyone know where to find a tool/driver for these bolts? I'l post the wheels when I'm done.

 

They are a triple Square; i think 8 or 10mm.

 

Thank you! As usual, hundreds of tools, sockets, etc., and I don't have it. But, I do still have a number of 10mm sockets.

 

Be careful removing them, I believe they are the same as on the Kalimnos, and several of them fought me at every turn. I finally gave up and painted them as well.

Thanks for the advice! I will watch out. They need to come out as part of the refurb so hopefully (but not likely) there will not be a fight and generate my golf course language.

You'll thank tbergs plan of attack ^^

Plus if you do decide to remove and polish up (for some ungodly reason) they actually stick out more in the respect the rim doesn't flow and you also run a huge risk of trying to re install without them slipping around and scratching the refurbished wheel .

The wheels were finished (except for the bolts) and the tires remounted. I'm still in debate whether to "update" the bolts. My socket, (8mm) arrived and tested on a few bolts with no problem. Before anyone goes crazy on the Sentas, these were purchased off Evilbay with a crack in one wheel and several scuffs on the others. So, I had them repaired and then did the powder coat. The original Sentas are in boxes.

 

Reminds me of the look of a countach with gold wheels. I like it!

 

This is at a local, low key, car show. I refinished the bolts and am happy with the result.
