I need to replace 4 of my lug bolts on the drivers side front and I'm not sure what size I need. I searched the technical posts and I see that there are two different sizes, M14 and M12.. I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.. Its for an 05 Vintage Speedster with front disk brakes..

4 lug would be 14mm. Why not get 4 screw-in studs and nuts (or locking lugh bolts). The studs (one per corner of car) make it easier to "hang" wheel when changing tires. With the OEM lug bolts it takes 3 hands trying to mouth wheels on the car. Even harder if you are using wheel spacers.
Thanks Wolfgang.. This is just temporary, I'm going to covert to a wide 5 set up down the road. I just pulled my hubcaps to see if I like the look without them and 4 of my lug bolts are black for some reason. When i do go to the next step i will definitely look into having the studs pressed in and use lug nuts..
Late Porsche 914/VW steel Sport wheels used a plastic cover on the steel lug nut. I think original were black but there are grey and chrome aftermarket ones available now.
