    This means they need taper seat lug bolts. If you look at some factory lug bolts, where the bolt head meets the wheel it is round. They call these round seats. Taper seat bolts are are a straight edge and resemble a 45deg. angle. That might not make sense now, but when you see the difference it will make complete sense.
    E30s have taper bolts, not round. those are on VW's.

    as far as the wheels, I'd be interested but I'm not holding my breath that they would fit the ix with 225/50 hoosiers. the 14x6.5" basketweaves are already insanely close to not fitting.

        i almost bought those wheels in 16x8...

        the only issue that kept me away from them is that they are lugcentric not hubcentric, and while some people might be ok with that im not. also to balance tires you'd need a 4-lug lugcentric centering ring for the balancer and i've never seen that on any of the machines i've used.

          I used to have a set of diamond racing wheels on my 02, and I could never get them balanced properly. As Dan said they are not hub centric, other then that I nevre had any problems even during the 15,000 street miles.
