The individual pins come supplied in a reusable twist tube and the 4-piece workshop kit is supplied with a steel storage case for pride of place in your toolbox.Simply thread the appropriate pin size into one of the bolt holes on the wheel hub. The wheel can then be lifted and placed on the guide pin, and easily slid into place on the hub; keeping the bolt holes aligned for other bolts to be inserted and tightened.This reduces the awkward and back-straining process of holding the wheel in place with one hand whilst lining up and threading in the first bolt; thus, reducing the risk, hassle, and strain of mounting wheels.Proven using simulated and real-world testing, the new mounting pins usehigh-strength CNC-machined AISI 303 Stainless Steel, some 50% stronger than plated mild steel, to ensure durability and resilience in a workshop environment, and are supplied with colour-coded 3D-printedprotective sleeves for ease of identificationandanodised 2011-T6 aluminium caps to absorb knocks and prevent damage to the wheel, unlike others on the market.Please clickhereto view all sizes available and fora wider-reaching application list in the form of anew user-friendly drop-down search function.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Powerflex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48042183557394,"sku":"PF99-514-125","price":30.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/6684\/4690\/files\/resize_image__55963.1683894300.jpg?v=1707924490"},{"product_id":"eibach-wheel-spacers-bmw-335i-340i-435i-440i-f30-f32-5x120","title":"Eibach Wheel Spacers - BMW 335i, 340i, 435i, 440i F30\/F32 5x120","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Please Note: Eibach wheel spacers are sold as an axle set (2 spacers), if you require a full car set, please select quantity 2*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEibach Pro-Spacer is the ideal combination for use with the Eibach Pro-Kit as well the Sportline, if the original or aftermarket wheels are missing that last optical \"kick\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Eibach Pro-Spacer installed, the car looks wider and better, as the wheel fills the arch.
