Feedback on TPI stud kit
Anyone purchased the TPI stud kits from tire rack? The price seems to be a good one for what you get and the product itself has overall good reviews from amazon and other places. Funny thing is that you can't find it in the actual website and you have to call. when you filter for our car, it shows a stud kit for BMW for a 14x1.25 kit which is wrong for ours. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on this, not sure yet if I will get 62mm or 80mm. The link to the BMW kit for reference and the email reply I received from tire rack are copied below:
Hello,
I searched as well and also came up dry on the website. Further inquiry into this tells me that we only list the BMW kits online, so you would have to call and order those over the phone. When you call in, I won't be here since I'm about to leave for the day, but just call our sales department and give the salesperson you talk to the part number you want to order. Here they are again for your reference (our part numbers in bold):
KIT14150R14B TPI STUD KIT 14X1.5 19H R14 62mm stud length
KIT14150R14TB TPI STUD KIT 14X1.5 19H R14 80mm stud length
Both still have the 15.5mm insertion engagement.

Why not just get the RacingBrake wheel studs kit which you know will fit. There's virtually no price difference, you know it fits, you know it's made of quality materials, and you support an MBW vendor.

Another option is Motorsport Hardware. Same quality but quite a bit cheaper.

They have a 14x1.5 80mm kit but it looks like it's out of stock. There's a 75 and 82mm in stock though.
