I have a full set of Tech 3 Hipers on my quad. The bolts are only sopposed to be torqued to 120 inch pounds. Did you not get instructions with your rims?

Drill out that bolt, simple and easy. Then retap for a different size and bolt.

12 inch lbs is barely anything you can tighten way more with a screw driver. convert inch lbs to ft lbs and i think its 10ft lbs.

I can assure you it's 120 INCH POUNDS (10 FOOT POUNDS). I have the rims and I read the installation instructions several times.

Yeah I tighten my rings to like 8 or 9 foot pounds max. They don't take much.

no I didnt get instrustions with my rims.. Grr.. i got 4- 9X9 dual beadlocks. and 2- front 10x5 single beadlocks(i think) all for a 1000 shipped... that was 6 rims.. im pretty sure that was a good deal... even without directions lol.. oh well ill just see if i can buy the one half of a wheel... since its 3 piece constructed.. or try tapping it out like the one member said..( thanks for the help).
