Lug nuts for '07 Mini Cooper S

Where is the best place to get an extra set of lug nuts for a 2007 MCS? I can only find the lug bolts for 2006 so far. I also was wondering about a nice set of black studs possibly.

do you really want nuts? you'll need a conversion kit.

Umm... it was late. I meant bolts. And possibly a conversion kit.

Just curious, but why would you want/need an extra set?

I'm sure you could get them from the dealer.

I got a set for "just in case" situations (like an over torqued or stripped head etc). They run around $6 a piece at the dealer, I keep them in the boot with the other tire hardware.

Best just to get one or two from the dealer, then - it'll be cheaper than getting a full set from anyone else.

MINI is the only car that uses M14 x 1.25mm lug bolts, so there's not a lot of alternatives out there.

Purchasing a couple of OEM spares is probably your best bet. However, if considering a stud and nut conversion check out TSW.
