i've seen from 16 up to 36.

i guess the best results are from something in between(like 24).

sure, many bolts will prevent leaking, but boy, is

that one hell of a chore or what?:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

mine have 4, but then there's 8 bolts to hold the two halves of the rim together...:flipoff2:

I run 36 Bolt MRTs. Never leaks , never break bolts.

I ran the Speedking 16Bolt For a while and they are junk. Leaked like crazy, always breaking bolts.
