Just do a stud conversion and you can use whatever lug nut you want.

if you don't want to do a stud conversion, you can certainly get your OEM BMW lug bolts powder coated red. That would look sweet.

bolts sucks balls IMO...stud conversion will look better no matter what, and makes changing wheels 100x easier

alright i see the stud conversion but what does it do? how do they work? dont you guys think they stick out from the wheel to much?

Stud conversion is too much hassle imo.... see if you can get some one to powdercoat a set for you!!

how can that be??? makes changing wheels so much easier

but if powercoat is cheap then go ahead...and depending on the wheel, the stock bolts might not long enough to be seen easily...when i used to have bolts, I can't see them at all from most angles on my Rays ITC.

like would it chip while trying to screw on the lug nuts.

Powder Coat em'!

The spray paint on the head will remain, but the elements of the road i.e. Rocks, Weather, travel etc will quickly eat away at the spray paint.

Yes it'll chip... powder em!!

Have you tried looking in your phone book? Or do a Google search for powder coating in your area.

They advertise all over the Pittsburgh area so I assume you shouldn't have any difficulty if you try looking for them.
