Lug nut replacement. Gorilla locks?

JCF · 01-24-2015, 07:54 AM

Corrected because I clearly need more coffee. Anyone have any suggestions for replacement wheel bolts? My existing bolts are rusty and would like a clean look in black.

Are you sure it has nuts and not bolts? Every BMW I've owned had wheel bolts and not nuts but I've never had a Z4M Coupe.

Yes that's right, unless you install studs.
I'm not sure what the OP has, it's a little confusing

Yup I'm an idiot. Wheel bolts.

Let's try this again...

These will work on a z4m correct?

If you're looking for chrome I have some in my garage I don't plan on using any time soon. I think I even have a matching set of locks to go with them.

Ok, did some digging and I have more of a selection than I though. If you want just silver lug bolts I don't have a full set of those because all that I ever purchased were going to be paired with wheel locks. There's a pic of 16 silver lugs, all in good shape that I'd do with a set of wheel locks (pictured) for $40 shipped - new from Bav Auto these are just shy of $80. If you just want silver lugs but don't mind if they don't all match (one wheel would be different) I'll send those 16 bolts with the six different style ones to use on the fourth wheel. Lets say $35 for those. If you want to stick with black I have a set of those too. They're OEM, a little dirty but not rusty and a little cleaning would get them looking pretty good. I'd ship those for $30.

Excellent. Shot you a PM.

I got Gorilla bolts for my new wheels. It was cheaper to buy a set of 20 on amazon. I love the way they look, but I had to cut some of them down to fit.

Big thank you to Tony for the lug bolts, careful packing and super fast shipping!
