Titanium Wheel Stud Conversion

We have a conversion kit that will replace your lug bolts with wheel studs and nuts. The complete kit is made from grade 5 (6AL4V) titanium.

Lug Bolts are a pain in the *** to deal with. Studs and nuts are strainer, look way better and are much easier to deal with.

Switch to our titanium stud kit today.

Why not just titanium bolts?

The WHY question comes to mind.

We have titanium bolts as well, as a matter of fact we sell the complete set of titanium bolts for $275.00. We added this product because people are asking for it.

Why titanium or why studs.

A lot of people are interested in reducing the unsprung weight on their vehicle since that is so important to the cars handling so titanium is 40% lighter than steel.

Also, a lot of people hate wheel bolts and would rather have regular studs on their car so we made these kits as well.

E55 and several 928s
Half these people have never even taken their wheels off without a mechanic there. So I would assume they don't have much to say. If this works, then its a great idea and adds convenience.

I think a good question is why certain OEMs ever even went to lug bolts instead of studs. With huge wheels and tire combos, its really a pain to hold it while you are doing the bolts up so it doesn't fall on the brake shield.

These are going on my list of things to get!

As often as I change wheels at the track, going to studs will be a big help. After a long hot day of racing, dealing with the bolts and wheel spacers is never fun.

I don't see any specs for the diameter or length on the web page. Are these 14mm studs? Are they long enough to work with 15mm spacers and CLK wheels?

You should do them. I'd be interested in a lug and lock set up.

Thanks and as someone asked up above are they available in different lengths for those that want to use them at the track with the clk wheels. (Require longer studs due to the spacer)
