Default Launch Edition Lug Nut Size/Thread

Does any know know the lug nut size/thread pattern for launch edition BBS wheels? I am looking to reduce some rotational weight using titanium. Thanks in advance.

It was hard for me to find a definitive answer on this. I bought some extended bolts and locks to install my wheel spacers but haven't gotten around to doing that yet, so I can't confirm 100%. I used McGard's application guide, which I would trust to have good information:

They say:
M14x1.5 diameter and thread pitch
27mm shank (if you're not adding spacers)
R14 ball seat (14mm radius)

HOPEFULLY that's correct, but again, I cannot confirm with 100% certainty.

^^ you are correct, but they are 28mm and not 27 (for the difference it makes, lol!)

That is correct- we are 14x1.5, 28mm long, with a 17mm head. iirc the ball seat is"R14"

I am also curious on Titanium lug bolts- please share if you find any!
