My Ride: 07 BMW 525i Premium Package, Xenon Lighting Package, manual Transmission. Titanium Grey, 20% Tint around the back, 70% V-Kool on front.
Planned mods: Style 71 wheels with Toyo Proxy 4 tires, Sachs suspension upgrade, upgraded stereo, and many more to come.
Not sure where's a good place to get them...
However, you don't want lugnuts, you want actual hex bolts.
BMW uses actual bolts this is dark gray in color. Do you need something longer than stock bolts because of aftermarket wheels?
When I get my wheels I need slightly longer bolts, and the shop happens to have some longer bolts but it's silver in color which doesn't quite match my diamond black wheels. He actually have some bolt plastic cover that is gray in color which is pretty good. The shop told me Audi has these bolt cover and I actually need to get some more since he doesn't have 20 of them. I have been slacking and haven't checked out the audi dealer yet.
If you don't need longer bolts, just get it online from a BMW dealer. Seems like they only have a standard length bolts so if you need something longer, not sure where's a good place to get them.... Never realize these subtle little things about our cars (bolts vs. lugnuts) 'til I have to deal with them...
Good luck!

Somebody has to know....
I have a set of Ruff Racing wheels and do not know what seat style I need and I also do not know the length I need. I do not have a spacer on the wheels so I assume the stock length will work. How do I find the seat style?

don't assume stock lengths will work...
i don't have spacer on my wheels, but with the original bolts, it can only get 4 turns before it engages, whereas the stock wheels can engage 6 turns.
the shop thinks it may be a little unsafe and he happens to have bolts that's like few mms longer. However you don't want it to be too long in which it may interfere something?
seat style, I think the BMW one is kind of like a wedge and the mounting surface? How does your wheel look like at the bolt?
Sorry not much help I know...
