Default Lug bolts for aftermarket wheels (specifically BC Forged)

Hello,

Wondering if I should use the OEM lug bolts or aftermarket ones with BC Forged wheels.

Google consensus says conical and BC Forged only sells conical, so I’m guessing conical.

If you're getting new ones, get the Ti ones from Acer racing. Look awesome and will never need replacing. Run these on all my cars.

Did you check to see if they are sitting properly? If the wheels is not designed to use OEM bolts, the bolt contact area to the wheel could be as minimal as 1mm.

If your wheels are conical seat, I have OEM length conical locking wheel bolts if interested!
