I've just purchased a set of used BBS RK's, 17x8, 5x112, hubcentric for my A4 (i think). The previous owner said he used his stock lug bolts with them, but I've searched and searched and am getting conflicting info on whether these take conical or ball seat bolts.

I tried trying to feel whether the bolt holes are curved or straight but it's too hard to tell. I've been told that if they are hubcentric then they were made to accept ball seats. Others have said that unless they are OEM like RCs on selected models, they are likely conical.

Anyone know for sure?

These were previously on a B5 Passat.
