Wheel Studs...

[Mark R]

BBS makes 14mm studs.  There are only 3 standard lug nut profiles:
1.  Flat (with washer).  No way you have this.
2.  45 degree conical seat (flat cone shape).
3.  Ball seat (rounded seat).

You'll have #2 or #3, depending on rims.  Just look.. if the taper profile
is flat, it's conical.  If it's rounded, it's a ball seat.
