Lugnuts for 763m

Anyone know where I can get some nice lugnuts for my 763m? Maybe color matching would be cool.

Lugnuts? I thought BMWs came with Lug bolts? Are you looking to do a conversion with studs to lug nuts? May help narrow down who offers what you are looking for.

I like the black contrast. No sure a matching color would look good.

Keep the stock black lug nuts; the gold wheels is more that enough bling.

These look rich & sporty. I would be broken trying to figure out if to get the gold or flat black 763M wheels #FirstWorldProblems

black. It's an amazing wheel to look at - don't distract from that

A colleague of mine got Titanium lug bolts for his M3. They are unfinished so have a natural dark silver of the titanium. Also half the weight if you're into reducing unsprung weight that extra little bit.

At all costs, do not use Ti for lug bolts. There's a whole host of engineering reasons not the least of which is the brittle failure mode of Ti. There is zero benefit of Ti lug bolts and lots of potential for disaster.

This ^

Ti can also distort/stretch under load. The minimal weight loss is under appreciated as well due to the weight loss being directly on the hub and not rotational mass at the leading edge of the surface.

The wheel image from the OP looks great as is, imo...

Hey might want to check out AliExpress if not the exact color maybe you can paint them?

Do the stock lug nuts that come with the stock 788s fit the 763Ms well?

Yes, they are all the same.

I used to have the Highline Titanium bolts for my Lotus. I love the way the seat stays put so it doesn't scratch that part of the wheel every time you take it off or put it on. But titanium doesn't work well with other metals, so there are some extra things you have to do.

In the end I went with the black Lotus Motorsport lugs because I love the look, and they're easier to use...but the key is fragile.

Why am I talking about Lotus lugs? Because they fit BMW...

I'll include a picture of the titanium ones, the silver Lotus ones with a BMW lug on the right (to show you the style), and the black Lotus ones I went with.
