HOORAY! Glad to see wheel studs!

[E55 KEV]

From this picture I am very happy that the LX cars are using wheel studs and lug nuts instead of Mercedes, BMW and VW style lug holes & lugbolts. Lugbolts are a pain in the Azz to put on and requires a mounting pin to assist. I also think this makes it possible to use a 5x114.3 bolt pattern wheel on the 5x115 hub using special lug nuts. There are tons of 5x114.3 wheels on the market.

Wow, I never knew that about the Mercedes. I guess you learn something new everyday!

I think I'd rather lose a lugnut then a lugbolt!

To help mount a Mercedes wheel you have to use this thing to have something to hand the wheels on:

I have a Turbo Beetle and when I went to 18" Tuner wheels & 225/40 tires, I did a stud conversion. The boltz are, indeed, a pain! :D

I used to live in Hollywood. Now I am up in Hyattsville.

Looking at a 300C next Thursday.

Yea Thursday ( the 22d of April ) is the day for the 300............................................... ......
MAYBE some thursday in the future it will be THE MAGNUM DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

Whoa! Wait a minute! What does the LX chassis have lug bolts or lug nuts? The 300 and Magnum accessory brochure shows lug bolts? HUH!

[DMAG]

Hmmmmmm.... the plot thickens.

Good question! Maybe those earlier pics we saw were with the bolts screwed in?

BMW uses lug nuts... But yeah, anything that increases availability of wheels is a good thing.
