Can someone tell me what these are inside these lugnuts and where I may be able to find them if they are some sort of locking mechanism. I asked NEXMOD and they told me everything except the answer, so i figured i would come to the experts.

They are lug converters for a BMW or other European car. You screw the studs in so you can use lug nuts instead of factory lug bolts.

Those are some cheap, crappy wheels that will embarrass you. You should get rid of them. I am willing to take the shame off your hands. If not, I'm sure you might be able to find another sucker somewhere else on this forum.

Extended studs for sure. These look like Macht Schnell studs for a BMW to me.

Thanks, I found some nice looking Macht Schnell studs that I'm going to get. VMRWheels, do you carry either these lugs or studs?

At the moment we do not carry any lug nuts/bolts or extended studs. Just wheels.
