    ball seat wheel bolts for a 91 318is

    ball seat wheel bolts for a 91 318is just realized i needed ball seat lug bolts to run my bbs rm's on my e30 and not the stock conical lug bolts but im not sure what length i need, im pretty sure i need 14x1.5mm thread pitch though

    here are some that ive found

    Gorilla Automotive 18018 Ball Seat Lug Bolts...

    https://wagen-wheels.com/products/14...olts-11-2.html



    id like to buy the $2 each ones from ez accessory or wagen wheels but $2 each makes me wonder about the quality of them haha, has anybody else used the wheel bolts from there?

    and, i already put the wheels on the car not noticing it needed different ones and tightened them down, i just went out and checked and there is a small flat spot at the base of the hole where i think its supposed to be curved instead, i didnt just ruin my wheels did i? and worst case scenario could i just machine them to use conical style lug bolts?

      Personally, I would go with a stud kit. Bolts suck.
