Well my wheels haven't fallen off so.. Rally Design have been going for years they won't be supplying tat. I bought ones based on the overall length of an original standard bolt, which are fine however ideally should have gone for ones that were 5-10mm longer if I was doing them again. I used 272 high temperature Loctite on the threads into the hubs and they have been spot on.

I got mine from Ireland Engineering. Seem pretty decent so far....just keep in mind you need an imperial allen key to install and a 19mm socket instead of the BMW 17mm one

regretting not going for black though (they didn't have when I ordered)
