FS 4 and 5 lug stud kits for all e30s

[Rob]

my stock bolts are cone, and fit my kosei's perfectly... :shock:

[rwh11385]

yeah, with your response about being fairly easily, I pictured the bolt

but still, hearing things like danger makes one worry and want to be sure.
I mean, if they are ball, then that would mean everyone with stock bolts and aftermarket wheels are dangerous.

hmmm. mayhaps they are cone. and I don't have to buy another set of lugnuts. 8)

brb- i'm going to pull one and post a picture.

Yeah go check, I don't have any here at the office. But I could have swore BMW were the same as all the other stock wheels.

[rwh11385]

hey, it's cool if you just assumed they were ball as well. Just got worried.....

but I am figuring they are cone.

You take CC's at Blackforest right? phone #?

[blackforest]

Yeah we would much rather be safe than risk someones safety. So now that , that question is answered, you won't need another set of lugnuts to swap wheels. :D

[rwh11385]

Good to have that resolved. Now for the second and third questions I had. CC?/phone #. :)

Right now we can't take CC's over the phone. Have to use paypal for that, which is the same address as the email; sales@blackforestindustries.com

We have the chrome lugnuts in stock and can shipp same or next day, The black ones will add 2-3 days to shipping time, just to let you know

Grade hardness scale?

Theft protection option?

[rwh11385]

Alright, I have a paypal account and would be kind enough just to instant transfer funds from my checking account so you don't eat fees.
I'm going to take 2 days to digest and make sure I want to buy these now, but I was already looking for them and you came forward with this deal at the right time.

(p.s. Greg, did you ever update on those Hartge wheels? I think Brian was interested.....i kinda decided to get spacers and keep my wheels, obviously)

[blackforest]

Grade hardness scale?

Theft protection option?

They are a Rockwell C scale 25 hardness. Which translate to the Grade scale right above 8.

As for theft detection the lugs with these kits use a 14mm allen drive and come with the key. So that is pretty good theft protection right there, not many people carry, or even have , a 14mm allen socket. We can get lock sets, with 1 lock lug per wheel, for an additional $10 for the set. However these locks are only in the chrome finish.

<-- Ignorant to the "allen drive key". How exactly are the lugs installed/removed? I've only seen kits that use 17/19mm sockets, and these have a 14mm allen key? You just connect it to a wrench like a socket?

[boom-monkey]

You install the studs with the allen key, it has an allen key hole in the end. The nuts are put on like usual with a socket.

[Mystikal]

Nah man, look at the lugs.

Can you get sets to fit a 4lug with 10mm spacers?

It looks like you just put the allen bit into a common socket size on your wrench and it becomes a 14mm allen head socket for tightening the lug bolts.

I think the smaller allen key helps to screw the lugs into the hub. The lugs probably are keyed for it on the hub end.

The two nuts are set up to jam against each other to torque each lug into place. The Loctite holds everything in place.

I've been looking for something good quality like this and priced well.....
I heard that Kosi's have a small hole size for lug nuts and some splined drive nuts do fit. Do you know if it would fit in tight applications like this?
