Help w/ BBS Mahle Lugs

[Zimzumz]

I’m trying to find polished lug nuts that run with a set of 16” BBS Mahles, similar to the pic below (hard to see) or what anyone uses here. Ones that will fit with the longer ARP 100-7715 studs. Any help is appreciated!

Alpina Lug Nuts

There’s been a need for these for a while and we finally made em. Using a period-correct sample that we had off of a CSL project from long ago. Will fit the E9, E3, and 2002’s. Available in sets of 16 or 20. Chrome plated and the perfect accent for your vintage wheels

Careful here, my BBS Mahles use a round base lug nut also known as a Mercedes style, not the tapered/conical lug nut common on coupes. Find out first what you need. With those longer studs hope you don‘t need open end lug nuts.

Can you speak to how I would use a set of wheels using the round base lug nut?

I have a set of BBS RA222 Mahle wheels 16x7 et22 and they came with lug nuts with the washer and I was wondering if there is some sort of standard socket head bolt or similar that might allow me to mount these to later car with a full length lug bolt....

I guess if the wheel centers on the hub, the bolt is just there to hold it to the hub, I just wasn't sure if it may cause vibrations since there are not 5x bolts to centering the wheel on the hub also.

If your only issue is overly long lug studs, why don’t you just shorten the studs?

Actually looking at these wheels for an E12 based E24, I was hoping to avoid having to run studs in general, though I could add if needed, but I'd like the option to switch between wheels still as I have a few other sets.
