Wheel seat damage from bolts
I popped off my wheels today and noticed they had some paint chips and wear from the lug bolts.
I'd like something that doesn't beat up the wheel seats like this. Not looking for anything with wheel locks. Just 20 regular bolts. They have to be black as well. Also extended threads since I'm running 15mm spacers. Any info or suggestions would be helpful. Currently running the extended bolts that came with my spacers that I sourced from Burgermotorsports. |

No need for help any longer, sorted it out myself.
Acerracing in LA is making me a custom 2 piece titanium set in black. Problem solved. |

This is what I purchased:
M14 x 1.25 is the bolt size for our cars. x39 is the length in mm. I got 39mm since I have 15mm spacers. You can determine what length you need by measuring your bolt thread. The cone sliding washer is what makes these two piece bolts. They're less damaging to the wheels. The fact that they're titanium is a plus because less weight = less roll resistance. Yes they're expensive ($350), but you get what you pay for. I had to have a custom set made because of the length I needed. Production time for custom sets is 4 weeks. |

The website is: https://www.acerracing.com
They don't stock 2-piece titanium lug bolts in bmw thread sizes so If that's what you want you have to place a custom order by email: acerracing@gmail.com
