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

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

            Same, Red Loctite on mine, and they backed out eventually. I'm back to lug bolts now though, can't use studs with adapters. :(

              can u share with me why you can't use studs with adapters? Is that specific for your case or in general because I plan to use adapters... Thanks...

                  don't use those on a track. No, really. Not if you value your car/life.

                    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.

                      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).

                        Ah, I thought maybe it was the spacers or brakes, lol.

                        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...
