Make sure they have a ball seat and not a cone seat. You will need longer thread that the first picture shown. The bolt needs to turn 6 times before it snugs down. any more turns, the bolt is too long and will come out the back side of the rotor and hit the emergency brake in the back. Less that 6 turns will be to short to safely hold the wheel on. Make sure the tread length is 1.5 inches. Don't confuse this with the total bolt length. You can get different head lengths too.

I was told that the ball seat radius is the same on the 12mm and the 14mm because the head size is 17mm on both. Only the threaded part is a smaller diameter.
** Note: If wheel spacers are used, add that thickness to the bolt length.

I think they carry both lock bolts and lug bolts.

Brabus and Stock Bolts
Just bought a set of used chrome Brabus Monoblock IVs for my e430 (18x8.5 5x112 offset=35) and they didn't come with bolts. Was planning on just using the stock bolts until I can find some chome ones - until I read this thread.
1. Anybody know if these are ball or cone seats? Can you tell by just looking?
2. Anybody know a source for Chrome lug bolts?
