XXR 521 Red Rivets

Just ordered a set of XXR 521s and Im looking for the red rivet kit. The site I ordered the wheels from has the rivets, but they are out of stock at the moment and will be for up to a month they said.. Does anyone know a place where I can get these rivets (Not Next Level Motoring) they are out of stock..

Thanks for the help!

Well unfortunately I spent the last half hour getting powder coating quotes and they all want about $1 a bolt... And I think there's about 80 bolts. -_-

That's how they roll in FL I guess. I'm ganna keep calling around. I didnt even recieve the damn wheels yet and I ordered them a week ago exactly. Not too happy about that. On a more positive note I did get all the rest of my parts.. Minus the new radiator and front wheel bearings.

First post. "out of stock for a month"
Just got my wheels this am, but they do NOT have the lug kit or the tool that comes with is, hence the reason I need to have them powder coated.

I ended up here looking for replacement rivets for my 521 wheels which are about 20 months old. At just over a year I noticed that the chrome rivets were oxidizing. I keep my wheels clean and live 25 miles off of the coast in FL so I am assuming inferior production? I called Wheelfire who told me to call XXR. XXR said that rivets are considered an accessory even though they came attached to the wheel from the manufacturer? Accessories only carry 90 day warranty and wheels 1 yr.? Very disappointing!

So, I am contemplating whether I want to go through the hassle of replacing all of them with chrome rivets to only have this reoccur ion the near future. I wish I could confirm whether they had some bad initial runs or have replaced the rivet since these wheels were initially released? Maybe I will just have mine powder coated black although chrome would match my car's color scheme the best?

I wasn't aware they came with true rivets. Thought they were just for looks.
