Will the studs and lug nuts work with my wheels that have a tapered hole that is designed to accept the OEM lug bolt?
I see they will now never mind
All orders have been processed and shipped. We appreciate your support!

Any way to get these without lug nuts for cheaper? I have a set of 12x1.5 lugs already.
Also any way to do 10 90mm and 10 75mm? I run wider spacers in the front but don't need them in the rear so having that much extra stud wouldn't be necessary. Basically I'd like 10 75mm studs and 10 90mm studs. Let me know if that's possible.

How often do you guys recommend replacing wheel studs on a daily driver?

Do you recommend new wheel bolts annually as well? Obviously it wouldn't hurt but I'm just curious.

***wheel stud noob disclaimer***
Is there any reason wheel studs would be less reliable or safe than OEM wheel bolts for a daily driver?
and is there any type of locking lug nut for the wheel studs?
would you torque the lug nuts to the same spec as wheel bolts?
I've seen videos of a few cars with what im assuming are the wheel studs failing or maybe the lug nuts backed off? but how common is something like this? I've always been concerned about running wheel studs because of a potential failure. do they really have to be changed each year? but wheel bolts are fine?
is there any advantage to them on a street car other than easier mounting, spacers, appearance?
Sorry for noobness..

Wheel studs are equally as reliable as the OEM wheel lug bolts for a daily driver as well as it is torqued properly and replaced annually as a consumable. There are open ended locking nuts out on the market, though we do not have any ourselves. You are correct that the lug nuts would be torqued to the same 88 ft-lbs as the OEM wheel lug bolts. Studs that have failed are usually due to age where the metal has stretched and fatigued over the exposure of heat over time, which is why we recommend an annual replacement, and does not happen often. Lug nuts that have failed are usually over-torqued or under-torqued. You named the advantages of the studs in your last sentence, it makes for easier swapping of wheels, easy to change out spacer sizes, and many prefer the performance look of studs.

Any group buys happening soon? Do you have the option of purchasing both 75 and 90mm studs/nuts (5 of each) on your website?

Hey Eddy, how much for just the 90mm bullet studs (5 lug)? I already have a nice set of open-end Muteki lug nuts. I'd like to upgrade to your studs from my current Turner 90mm all-thread studs (no nose).
The 90mm studs are $5.99/ piece, so a set of 20 studs would come out to be $119.80 + shipping. You can purchase the studs here.

Just as a general question, what is it with the Germans and bolts. Everything from my VW Beetles and Jetta, Audi and three Beemers have used them.
Where did the practice arise?
