    Yeah, I have never used those nickel ones. All mine have and always been the higher rated black ones from turner.
    that's good to know... wouldn't want one to break while I'm at the track...

    the cheap nickel plated studs aren't rated for track duty. They'll break. I broke 3 of them in one day, luckily not at speed. Then I was told by the manufacturer not to use those. The only ones worth anything are the black ones with rolled threads.

    as far as them backing out, no issues here either. I've gotten them hot too (enough to break the first cheap sets).

    What are you referring to and why? Just curious.

    I dont know why you guys have had issues. I use red locktite, torque them to 80 ft pounds, and have never had an issue with multiple sets on many cars.

    I was looking on the website and didn't see it? Do you know specifically where to look?

    Do you guys get a lot of paint chips/scratches on the inside of your wheel holes with running these?

    Break it down with some heat when you want to remove them. An argument or two with a torch and they should come right out.
