Wheel stud kit?

[Ameer Antar]

About the studs... are they purely just studs, or do they have a head at one end? If it's just a stud, what keeps the stud from coming out of the hub? I believe some of the older cars I've worked on have heads and a small raised splined area near the head which digs into the holes in the hub. The rest is threaded as usual. Oh and are the prices on that site per stud or per wheel or what? Thanks for any info.

Get it from www.ecstuning.com - all the quattro Audis use M14x1.5mm pitch
bolts.  I ordered 50mm studs from them just in case I wound up running a
thick spacer.  They barely fit behind my center caps.  Get the 40mm length
studs, they will be good for a spacer up to 10mm and be much more convenient
to remove (I had to buy an extra deep 19mm deep socket to fit over the
studs)

Wheel bolts suck.  Once you go to studs you will never go back :)

need?  I've had bad experiences with wheel bolts and would like to switch
over to studs.  Thanks all.  You guys rock.
