Almost all BMW wheel bolts use metric. This means they usually measured in millimeters. For example, the most common metric thread sizes of BMW bolts are M14x1.25mm. A M14 means the width of the thread area and a 1.25mm means the thread pitch. Basically, the thread sizes of the lug bolts will vary based on the wheel hubs. Therefore, you need metric BMW lug bolts to fully secure the wheels. Then a set of M14x1.25mm wheel bolts fit your BMW car perfectly.
Since aftermarket wheels come with various lug seat types, the correct seat types will depend on the actual wheel. Stock BMW wheel bolts may no longer fit these new aftermarket rims. At this point, it is critical to figure out the different types of lug bolts. If the aftermarket alloy wheels have a R14 ball lug seat, the lug bolts should be ball type accordingly. This is helpful for you to make a wise decision about which variation is best for your particular requirement.
