Rota and 14mm lugs?
Anyone, offhand, know if Rota wheels will work with the new 14mm lugs? Thanks.

I just put slipstreams on an R56 no problem. Don't know if that applies to all of them.

RBs, D2s and SVNs are good-to-go for 14mm bolts too. Based on that I'd say it's safe to deduce most Rota wheels work for 14mm bolts.

Thanks Ryephile. Do you speak from personal experience?
Is it just me that wants a database of wheels that are 14mm compatible? That'd be awesome.

I have a set of Rota RB 16x7 on my R56 MCS. No problem with the 14mm bolts. Damaged two of them and just got Slipstreams. Haven't mounted them yet, but the holes look big enough.

I'm kind of noob so the vets can come in and correct me if I'm wrong. I think you have two options:
1. Convert to studs and lug nuts. Use the 12mm lug nuts. Like these:

2. Have the holes in your volks bored out a teensy bit.

I ask again: where did you get your P1s?
Thanks!

Thanks! I've had some difficulty finding the right style in the right size from the right place. I'll check it out!

Yeah, I'm interested in Gram Lights (Volk company?) but I'm concerned that those wont fit either.

Ryephile is right; all current Rota models work with 14mm bolts.
