I am trying to find some lug studs for a set of minilite rims. The hole through the rim is just under 16 mm. My guess is ~15.5 +/-0.2mm. The rim is close to 25 mm thick. Thread end would be 14 mm 1.5. I was thinking of a thread in stud to use regular lug nuts but the shank part that would fit into the rim would require enlarging the hole in the rim. Any help or sources would be appreciated.

I want the bolts. I was exploring all options. I tried contacting Minilite America, but have not been successful in getting a response.

I did a search and ran across this place. No mention of Porsche but they should know Minilites pretty well. Could be an info resource?

EDIT: Actually they do mention Porsche at the bottom.

Hi,
If you still need the Minilite wheel studs I have 15 which were purchased from Brad Mayeur in March 2020. I went a different route and installed threaded wheel studs with shank type wheel bolts.
