Lug bolts for Kosei K1 TS 17x7

I am receiving a used set and I wondering if anyone knows what size lug nuts I need and what the part number for locks could be. I called Tirerack but they would't sell me any or give me any information since I didn't buy new ones from them. Can't say I blame them...although I think they probably lost me as a future customer.

I have the same wheels and ended up using the stock lug bolts which are a dark finish instead of the ones that came from tire rack which were a bright nickle plated and looked like crap with the grey wheels, The ones supplied were the same size as the stock, you will have to use a thin wall socket to torque them down , the Mini Supplied lug wrench is too thick walled and won't fully engage the head of the lugbolt so you will round corners and scratch the finish on the wheels
I have had problems with the center hubs popping off as I there is a size interference problem and they have a very thin engagement lip. They get pushed thru the wheel by the concentric hub rings. BTW get the aluminum ones (hub rings)51mmm I think
I will attempt to post a pix below

Great, Thanks for the information. Did you add wheel locks as well? I think they are 12 x 1.25. I will look for a thin walled socket. Thanks again.

Hope this pix isn't too big?? Not sure what you mean by wheel locks, but be sure that you get the correct Concentric hub rings(alum) the first ones I rec'sd were plastic and the wrong size the wheels slipped and went outa balance big time, I called Alex at Tire Rack and he was great in getting me the correct concentric rings, even tho I had ordered thru one of their sub vendors. Alex is the MINI Guru and will now what you need, good luck:smile:

Excellent..thanks for the picture. I just went to the mcgard site and the size they stated was 12m x1.5 bolt. Here's a pic of the what I was thinking as far as a wheel lock.

I'm sorry, I didn't think of calling you. And I think I will be a future customer of tirerack. I was just a little ticked off at the moment.

Damn: I want those Kosie K-1 TS in white sooo bad. Did get a quote from local body shop who, are very picky with what they work on ("Nice cars or nice people's cars"). They turn out fanstic work. Quoted me $50.00 per wheel. I think thats a deal.
