No... attention to detail would be making sure that all the lettering on the bolts matched the centercap.

That would kill someone with OCD like myself.

I know someone who has them in stock, pm me.

Red caps are $85

Red or blue bolts directly from Japan $4-500

holly crap.......400-500 dollars for lugbolts??? wtf?? best spend the money on something else.....

e92phreak · 01-05-2008, 10:34 PM

The lugnuts are overkill IMHO.

oldaccount · 01-06-2008, 02:10 AM

turns out i cant run the bolts anyway because they are nuts made for studs.

they look like caps from some other bbs product. But the BBS logo does not match the cap .

BMW DIET · 01-06-2008, 04:34 AM

why dont u contact BBS germany ?

BMW DIET · 01-06-2008, 06:48 AM

go to ebay.com and type this item number in 250203016935

Bluecougar · 01-06-2008, 10:54 AM

Yup, those studs are from Japan.

From what I read and received from other members who have these nuts they can only be purchased from BBS Japan in Japan. That's why it's so difficult to find, you'll either need to know someone who speaks japanese that can call or lives in Japan to pick them up.

Convert your hub to studs. Nothing is impossible.

Real BBS centercaps are 70mm, the ones on eBay are for the replica LMs to slap on. 68mm isn't going to fit authentic BBS wheels. The way it mounts is not the same either.

The authentic BBS LM centercaps are 3 prong also.

there are 3 sizes for authentic BBS centercaps. i think.

330 HRE · 01-07-2008, 10:53 AM

There is the 56mm and 70mm. The only versions that fit BMW is the 3 prong and 4 prong 70mm caps.

BMW MotorSport · 01-07-2008, 04:22 PM

damn those are some nice lugs. as fas as being unsafe to put wheel studs for lugs, NOT true, every race car I've ever seen on the track converts their lug nut type bmw lugs to having studs. Makes for easier wheel changes too.

stooken · 01-07-2008, 05:02 PM

what about just getting RED lugs? it doesnt have to say BBS on it.
