Anyone considering ordering these wheels should be advised, the stock lug bolts will NOT work. The hole the lugs go into is extremely recessed, and too small diameter for most sockets or lug wrenches to fit inside.
The best plan would be screw in studs, and lug nuts with no larger than a 19mm (3/4") hex.

Even if you could get the stock lugs to work, their pressed on head make them very undesirable, even on the stock wheels.

My Ronal wheels came with 17mm hex head lug bolts, so they can be used, but the depth of the lug holes makes them very difficult to get started into the hubs.
I'll likely switch to screw in studs and nuts in the near future, just to make installation of these Konig's easier.
