Yes they have lugs. They've had them for weeks. They want to know what the demand is for stud kits and what length. You can get lugs from your MINI dealer and locks no problem but they don't have longer lugs for those using spacers.

How do you know if the heads will fit your wheels. I don't believe the head size is different between the 12 and 14 mm lugs.

The stock lug head does not work in more tuner rims because it is too big. These are tuner lugs with spline/small diameter heads on them that are made for tuner rims.

Two questions:

(1) What difference will these make compared to the stock lugs that came with my GP? (I already have a set of M14 x 1.25 "locking lugs" from MINI, too)

(2) You said 16 for $60 but the link says $89.95 for 16 ... does anybody know, did they go up in price all of the sudden?

The difference of these is they are Grade 9 quality bolts which is above track standards. They have a very unique uber key and they have smaller head on them than the stock M14 x 1.25 lugs and the wheel locks from Mini that you have.

As far as the price goes. For non-NAM members the price is $89.99. For NAM members, they need to purchase NAM kit #4 which is $49.99 and is the same thing as the $89.99 kit.

Thanks.
I placed my order today.
Bought one of their billet antennas in black, too.
Hopefully that will do a better job than the other short antennas I've bought so far.
Great stocking stuffers for the kids to give me for Christmas!

It's very doubtful that it will do a better job, especially if by "billet" they mean it is a simple solid hunk of metal. I have tried a variety of short antennas and it basically comes down to a tradeoff between appearance vs. performance. However the fundamental problem is that the stock head unit has poor FM performance, otherwise we would have more flexibility about choosing a replacement antenna.
