    What's the typical replacement interval of studs for a vehicle that sees maybe 3-4 autox/track events per year?

    We would recommend replacement intervals of once per year for all vehicles.

    Our prices are currently reflecting promotional prices, and is marked off on our site here. The 75mm stud length is all you'd need if you do not plan on using any spacers, as the 75mm length supports up to a 12mm spacer. The choice between the bullet nose and hex head is up to you - the hex head studs are the most popular due to the ease of installation, as they allow you to use an allen head wrench. They are used by the majority of our customers as the benefits of the bullet nose is not very applicable to most customers. Those that choose bullet nose for cosmetics do it with the understanding that it is more difficult to install and uninstall due to the requirement of the double nut locking method. The bullet nose is popular among race cars owners and requires a double nut locking method for installation. The reason why it is more popular among race car drivers is due to the end of the stud being bullet nose, thus the round nose does not allow for the wheel to get caught on the stud during quick wheel swaps. For racers, this would mean a quicker wheel swap during pit stops, saving that the few tenths of seconds that would count towards the overall lap time. For the average consumer, this benefit is not something that one would be able to take advantage of.
