So.... i'm confused as crap. I want to order all new lugs for when I do the new tires here soon and plastidip the wheels. However... The lugnuts I have for my stock 17"s have the thread attached (male if you will)

And all I can find online for mini's is open ended lugs? So... what the crap do I do here? hahaha.

 

well keep searching because you don't have lug nuts

1. we have lug studs (essentially a bolt)
2. if you want open end lug nuts you'll need a stud kit. talk to way at waymotorworks.com He has an m14 stud conversion then you can use any lug nut.

 

I'm not sure what you're asking, but Dr. Obinson is right about Way, he sells stock lugs too. You can also try MINI Mania, i've bought lug from them.

 

OH!!!!! Okay... that makes sense. I just really wanted Red nuts showing around the gray wheel. So I guess I have to plop down the $100 for the kit and then order the 3rd party Lug Nuts... gotcha. I can't find any fancy or aftermarket bolts so I guess this is the way. Thanks man!

He show's you how to just DIY your own studs!!! I think it would be cool to actually figure out the math and use close ended lugs
