Okay, this may be a dumb question....
Im going to fit some BBS RC041s from a 325is M-Tech to my new Ti tomorrow. This is my first BMW and i am OCD about these rims as i paid big cabbage for them and looked a long time for a set in stock form i wanted to buy, id need to be sedated if they were damaged by something as stupid as this. So...
Do i need special lugs to avoid damage and allow proper seating in these wheels or will the stock lugs work fine?
I recall that back in the day i had to get special lugs to fit some BBS RAs on my 81 VW Scirocco. Car had bizarre varying seats on lug nuts.
I just want to get everything ready in advance to avoid any wasted time, damage to my favorite wheels ever, or disappointments.
Here is a link to real oem parts breakdown for this wheel. Is that just the standard BMW lug bolt. I cannot find one in a TI specific diagram for cross reference.

The car as it sits now is pictured below, and then a pic of the new wheels. I think those things on it now are factory BMW from some other car. Does anyone know for sure?
