Help? Not sure about wheel fitment
Hi Fellow CL members,
I have finally got a new set of wheels, some Moda R6s. Anyways, I got them off ebay and they were suppose to be 5 by 114.3 bolt pattern and include lug nuts. When I got them today, they came with lug bolts instead of the lug nuts, and also seem to be a little bigger than 114.3mm for the bolt pattern diameter. I hope the ebay ad didnt mess up and send me a BMW wheel or something !
Anyways, if anyone can help me determine the bolt pattern using only the pictures, that would be exellent. Im sure someone has the computer skills to do it.
Also, I just found out that I don't have my lug nut key for the locking nut! Dang what to do what to do.....
Thanks soo much!

I see from the pic that the offset is +38 but can't see the width. There is only one way if u want to put these on, re-drilled the bolt patterns & make hub-centric rings.

Are they Radius wheels? I think I see that stamped on the back of the spoke...
Radius is an offshoot of racing Dynamics, the BMW tuner.
I think them thar' is BMW wheels... (indicated by the word "Radius" and the lug bolts, I think you got hosed). I can post from the office in the morning and tell you how to measure the bolt pattern.
Isn't eBay great?

It doesnt sound like they stated clearly that the wheel would be with loug bolts instead of lug nuts. I dont know of a reason why you couldnt just ask them for lug nuts but then again, I dont know alot of things. I would make a call to them and start the inquiry process. Be cool and professional and ask for resolution as the ad doesnt seem all that clear.
Do they have neg reviews on Ebay?

Sorry Man, I just realized these are used and didnt come from a vendor.
