Will these studs work?

Anybody know if these studs:

or

and these lug nuts:

will work on an R53 Mini?

Looking to use them with a variety of wheels, but mostly my Enkei street wheels and some Rota Slipstreams, but it's conceivable that stock wheels would go on as well. All of these wheels currently fit using the OEM bolts.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and any reason to NOT go with the longer studs? I kind of like the look, and it appears as if the shorter ones don't have the hex bolt input on the end.

Thanks all.

Yes, those lug studs in M12x1.5 are direct fit to the R50 / R53 platform.
How long are you OEM lug bolts? If the stud is longer (that mounts the wheels, not to the hub) is the same length or longer, it'll work.

Extra length is up to you and appearance / application preference.

Thanks - so the lug nuts are correct too? "60 degree conical nuts".

They look identical to the TSW stud / lug set (but cheaper!)

$19.20 for lugs
$68.00 for studs (cheaper if you get the shorter ones)
$87.20 Total

vs. $120 for the TSW kit.
