Chrome Lug Bolts anyone...

[BASEBALL248]

I came across these two sites awile back, if anyone is interested. I bought the Chrome Gorillas from SFX a few months back (1st link). They are well made and a good price ($2.16 per lug and the shaft length was correct for my application (1.1 in or 27mm)

The Bekkers are WAY overpriced at $4.95 per lug and they did not have a shaft length less than 35mm.

Baseball248, or anyone else:

Would these lugs fit a 1995 525i with 17" Beyern wheels?

Should as long as the offset is not something crazy.

The SFX site (Gorilla lugs) are standard shaft length for stock applications. The Bekkers site has longer shaft lengths for aftermarket applications that involve extending the offset.

I am looking to purchase (for 1995 525i) Beyern 5's 17x8 with 235/45/17 tires. Is the correct offset 20mm?

I believe the offset range for the E34 is 13mm to 25mm. If your new rims are offset for that range, then you should be okay. The rim vendor should be able to confirm proper application.

yeah 20mm should do
