I believe most aftermarket wheels will use a cone seat style lug bolt, but again you'd definitely want to confirm with the wheel manufacturer.

Did you ever order new wheels or confirm the answers to these questions?
Do you know if 2024+ MY bolt pattern remains 5x120?

Both Handling and ride are much improved.

Lou,
Are you still happy with your choice of size and offset for your wheels and tires? Anything you would change? Your car looks great, and when my run-flats are done, I plan to upsize my wheels and tires. I've never bought custom wheels and I plan to read this whole thread for some education. Thanks in advance!

^^^^^Since that post, I had a catastrophic flat that shredded a tire and severely damaged one of my wheels. I replaced them with Vossen Forged wheels with the same specs and replaced the tires with the same Michelins:

Testing with 20mm spacers on the stock 21" wheel and tire setup brings the tire out even with the fender. Tire and wheel width matter of course but this site seems to be a good place to compare setups. Has anyone found a better site to compare offsets with new wheel and tires sizes?

After

Hey Lou,
Were your old HF-1s Gloss Black? I'm considering these wheels, but can't decide between Black, Anthracite, or Satin Silver. The car is Infrared.
