Wheel stud conversion kits

Playing with spacers for fitments I now own too many wheel bolts. 45mm, 50mm, 60mm, maybe need some 55s…

Anyone just convert to studs and be done with it?

Not on this car, but I did convert to studs on my 204 C63 many years ago for track reasons. I am thinking I may be due for a new set soon due to age and surface corrosion, I was looking at new sets from motorsporthardware, they have many conversion kit options.

Cool!

How do they look in real life aesthetically? I’m thinking black studs and black nuts will hardly be noticeable compared to black bolt heads?

Not the best pics but just what I had on hand, here's how my black studs look, pretty sure the nuts are black as well but due to the concave design of the wheels they are sunk fairly deep. The length of the studs will affect the look, I got the same length 80mm for front and rear but you can see the fronts stick out only a little bit but the rears stick out much further, which does give it a bit of a track rat look. I think if I get new studs I will probably try 75mm front and 62mm rear to get it a bit more of an even and flush look
