My rims are set to get here on Wednesday. I contacted ECS about getting lugs and they thought it would take a conical seat but were not sure about the length. The rims are O.Z. Ultraleggeras 18x8 et35mm offset 5x100. Does anyone know where I could find that info at?

 

you bastard i love thos rims call oz they will tell you

 

I got a reply from the guy who sold me the rims. He said "shouldnt taken anything special but an acorn" Anyone care to enlighten me on WTF that means?

 

Got the rimsin black too. Love how it looks on a silver TT with the black offsets. Did the tail lights, side markers, black grill, headlight housings with smoked corners/amber deleteand am going to put my Telson back on soon. Too bad I wont have it done for the SFL GTG this weekend.

Back the the question though. Anyone? Bueller?

O.Z. only has contacts on there website for Italy, Japan and somewhere else far away. Maybe I will contact Tire Rack or something.

 

Proving my newbness yet again. I spoke to Tire Rack and they said the lug is 52mm from end to end and that the threading is 28mm. Looking at ECS I dont see any lengths that match. They have ECS Conical Seat 14x1.5x30mm Wheel Bolt ES#8618. 2mm is almost non-existent and shouldn't be a problem right?

 

I believe "acorn" refers to the stock style ball seat lug bolts as opposed to the "tapered" conical seat style that alot of aftermarket wheels require. These styles are not inter-changeable and I would think that the stock length would work for the O.Z's as long as you are not running spacers.

 

and the answer is......conical 14x.15.x28mm. ECS doesn't offer them on their website but I think a local place has in stock for $3 a pop. Only $15 more than getting them shipped from Tire Rack. Wondering if I am going to get these on by Saturday for the SFL GTG.

 

I hope I'mnot going to need hub centric rings. Anyone know what the requirement is for those? I dont know anything about that.
