I have a set of 13x6" et13 BBS-MAHLE wheels for my 79 320i. The problem is , they use extremely long wheel bolts(42mm)with a very large taper. I only have 12 bolts, but would very much like to use these wheels. Any ideas? Do you have, or know where I could get these bolts? Thanx,Al

We can try to help but I will need the wheel part number to make sure we get you the correct lug. The part number should be something like RA96 or something like that. If you can't find the part number you could send us a bolt and we can match it. Let me know if I can help. Jim 800-428-8355

Jim, not sure what number I needed, so I got every number on the wheel! Around the outside lip of the wheel, KBA 40 179. Around the inner hub, 290 090 0, and 36.11-2 205 138. It is also stamped BMW around the hub, and BBS-MAHLE is in large letters on the outer edge. There used to be some markings on the bolts, but they are too worn too read. Thanx for the help, Al
