Opinion on e30 Stud Conversion?

[Wishno87]

Ask Matt-B about cheap studs. He will tell you.

ARP?

George, avoid "cheap" studs, trust me :)

What do you mean??? I should use quality parts to secure my wheels? Why? :|

I said I waned to find a cheap source of their studs. You know they are charging 3 or 4 times what they cost.

+1 on studs, it makes mounting wheels so much easier, especially none hub centric ones. I love mine

If you ever plan on tracking your car, go with a vorschlag or turner kit. Mine has been through a few track days with flying colors. I'd be wary of any others.

Thats nice - streeg driving is like half as hard on car components as track.

Mine were like 40-50 shipped and been rocking them for a over a year. That's on a slammed car on PA roads and then moved onto my current e30 thats lowered and on the same suspension (Ground control coilovers 500f/700r and bilstein sports). No issues.

Whats weird I just read this thread yesterday and I just threw a stud today. It can happen I suggest after you take your rims off a few times to redo the locktite . Mine were on for a year and I never checked them.

X2 on the loctite. I'm using studs too and I have had no problems.

[nando]

you don't. you use red locktite and put them in by hand with an allen wrench.

never had one back out..

[markseven]

How do you properly torque the studs?

[Matt-B]

yea the black vorshlag and turner kits rock

[Lrutts]

Thank you!

I'm using these:

No issues with them, they're a bit long -- but I like the look, and they're from a reputable company. They also sell a 75mm kit.
