Replacement for Lugs on OEM Rims

Ive searched around, and all info is for aftermarket wheels. I'm covered there.

I am looking to replace the lugs on my OEM Type S wheels, looking at them, they are round on the bottom. What the hell type of lug is that.

Different from the cone correct?

Thanks

Most of the time, the rule is OEM wheels use ball/rounded shaped lugs and aftermarket wheels use cone/tapered lugs.

I wouldn't suggest using oem lugs on aftermarket wheels and vice versa.. the surface area/contact area is minimal since it doesn't fit well.. plus it'll ruin your rims.

That's a good question, I haven't been able to find any aside from a dealership (even my local parts store sells tapered style, not ball). Your best bet is probably find a set someone is selling on craigslist or something ??

Or you can just get rims and not worry about the lugs haha jk
