Hey frank H&R sells each wheel stud for 6.59 each. Its a pretty straight forward install you just have to let the loctite sit over night before putting the wheels back on. Here's the link, the wheel studs are towards the bottom of the page.

Have you tried the Mothers Mag/Aluminum polish... it takes a bit of elbow grease but that stuff work great. Or you can try the buff and polish way too.

Frank, im not exactly sure how much the lug studs cost, James took care of that too. I didnt really want to ask Serge how much James spent.

You definitely should do the conversion, James did it on both his LM's and it looks great!

Im running 20mm up front and 10mm in back. Might as well paint the ball seat lugs, should look good...

I was thinking about it, but i think it looks good the way it is now. If i painted the roof spoiler it might be a little too much.

Rogue Engineering's studs are a bit cheaper than that. BMW has the same thread size. I work right down the streeet from them, and have looked at them; they're very nice - look better than the H&R ones (are black - very slimming!).
