Need Lug Bolts asap-`03 R50...

Normally I would research this a bit, but time is of the essence for me on this one.

I snapped a lug nut (stock-bolt) hand tightening it.

I'm 3 hours from the closest MINI/BMW dealer.

Where might my best (quickest) source for replacement (online/otherwise) be please?

(*Update* ~ of course I JUST NOW ordered them online before getting your message) - thanks just the same - but I would be interested in your suggestion for future reference please?

Thanks again...

first you shoulda posted your location. This forum has a ton of members and I'm sure someone could help you. I have all my stock lugs and extra studs I could send. Detroit Tuned is a good place to call when you are in a bind. They can usually help in most cases.

Thanks again. I bought this vehicle used, and it had spent most of its life up north (NY/PA/MD...prolly why I got such a "deal" on it) = salt/rust.

I ordered four to take care of this one wheel for now, but may soon be looking to replace the other 12. Please let me know how much you want for `em...you mentioned 'lugs and studs', but I'm looking at "bolts" here?
