325 wheel nuts

[JPO100]

Hi, I’m about to buy some bmw 18” 325 wheels (attached) and thanks for the help on a previous thread.

Just wondering if someone can point me to the bolts and locking nuts the wheels will need as they don’t come included

Thanks

Why would you not just reuse your existing bolts?

I could / can.. but was hoping for new and shiny

Just buy a pack of cheap chromed plastic caps

Oh right, I purchased a spare wheel bolt from ebay a few years ago, after one of my bolts decided to snap into 2 pieces.

I think the standard wheel bolts are M12x1.5 with a 26mm thread, if that helps?

I think a company like tpi would sell the full set including locking bolts too.

Thats a great idea, but don't buy the cheap ones as they're an absolute nightmare to remove with the little tool provided.

Go for tpi 17mm caps, which are much easier to remove without scratching your alloys.

I've only really ever viewed them as a disposable item. Any time I've never the wheels off I've used long nose pliers to pull them off and replaced them. If the others aren't too much more expensive though then absolutely
