I used Dorman tuner spline style M12x1.5 with tapered seat. They seemed to line up just fine and actually these wheels seemed so balanced they just fit perfect on the hub and sat flush without a lug holding it on.

Angry Fixed the fail

Weird, they show up for me. Let me just try again. I think they got scrambled when I was screwing with the settings in photobucket since I haven't been in that account in like 5 years.

i really wish they had 17-18s in the f05s , i dont think the fo5s are even made anymore, could never figure out why that wheel wasnt a bigger deal than it was,thinking maybe it was because 19s were the only size or something like that,those cf5s do look very nice,you should be proud
