Replica wheel seat ques w pics
Hey all- can you tell if this replica wheel has a ball seat? I'm pretty certain it is, however, my oem R14 lug bolts do not have as much contact as they do on the oem wheels. I'm going to try an R12 bolt on the replicas. See pics:

Same bolt, engagement pattern on replica wheel.

I also tested a conical bolt- same engagement width but lower on the lug.

Does manufacturer of those wheels offer the correct bolts to go with?

I don’t care for how the bolts contact the wheel. Your pic with OEM wheel is spot on.

Update- these are the R12s. Think I found my match. Much better positioning.
