Need Help with Lugs, Nuts, Studs, etc

I'm thinking about buying a Volk rim, but according to the seller, they will not fit on a latter year 2006 due to the 14mm lug diameter. He said he would throw in a conversion kit, but I know nothing about this stuff. I've read things about stud conversions, aluminum nuts, loctite, and its a bit over my head. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I just want to be able to buy all the right parts, adhesives, whatever... and give them to someone to install for me. Budget is not an issue, as I prefer quality over price.

Thanks in advance...

One thing about the 06's and the 14mm lugs, I have a June 06 built date, and was about to order up conversion lugs for some new wheels I'm getting, but before that I thought couldn't hurt to check so I loosened the bolts on one wheel and removed one bolt completely, and measured it, it was 12mm, so you may want to check and see if you really have the 14mm first.

Hey thanks for the heads up. But, I think the cut-off date was actually July of 2006. But I will check anyway. What conversion lug were you thinking about buying? I need some suggestions....Thanks
