Where to buy 12-point 8mm socket?

[spacerz]

I'm looking to buy a 12-point 8mm socket and am not having very good luck. I need it to take apart my BBS Rs's for a rebiuld. Any suggestions locally?

I've tried -

Calgary fastners
Home Depot
Rona
Princess auto
Canadian tire

No one carries these things.

Anywhere else i could look? Thanks for your help!

^Yup, Sears is usually pretty good for 12 point. If not Snap-on or Mac will have it.

Greg's has thin walled deep well sockets. Excellent for head studs, etc.

goto the auto mall and run after the snap-on truck like its the ice cream truck, j/k really tho, just find a snap-on truck and they'll most likely have one at last case scenario, what size is this, probably 1/4"-3/8" more likely 1/4"??

i can give you our snap on dealer's # here for our airport, he cruises the NW alot too as well as the international i believe

edit: on a side note, all you guys that take apart your 2 piece/3piece wheels, when putting them back together are there specific manufacturer torques you guys are tightening them back together in accordance with or is it just winging-it/as tight as it goes?

Sears - they're the only place I've found with 12pt stuff

Alright I ll try all those places tomorrow! Thanks a lot! I ll post up my results.

n1zmo - BBS has specific torque settings for their bolts when putting them back together. I'm buying new bolts and doing just that. I believe it's 21 ft/lb.
