45mm Wheel Studs by WheelMate
Having a hard time mounting wheels with those oem wheel bolts? or just sick of how ugly they are?
If you are having a hard time mounting wheels using those stock wheel bolts, this WheelMate Wheel Stud Conversion Pack is a perfect solution for you. Just install these on your OEM wheel hubs and start using lug nuts instead of those annoying wheel bolts. Each stud is easily installed using a conventional allen wrench. This will make wheel swapping and mounting much easier and faster whether at home or at the track. You'll also be able to use a variety of lug nuts in conjunction with your wheels. No longer will you need to use dull wheel bolts if you've upgraded your wheels. Once installed, any M12-1.5mm lug nut will be compatible with these studs.

- 20 x Wheel Studs

Benefits of using wheel studs instead of wheel bolts:
- Wheel studs are required by many racing bodies - because they are a better, safer way to ensure proper wheel engagement.
- Wheel studs are safer than wheel bolts because you can SEE when the stud is engaging the lug nut completely - a longer wheel stud sticks through the lug nut.
- Wheel studs allow the use of a variety of hub-centric wheel spacers, or no spacers at all. Longer wheel bolts have to be tailor made to each wheel spacer width.
- Wheel studs stay engaged into the hub fur their entire life cycle. The repetitive installation and removal of wheel bolts can cause accelerated wear on the threaded holes on the (expensive replace) wheel hubs.
- Installing wheels using wheel studs is considerably easier than when using wheel bolts, as the studs will locate the wheel while the nuts are being fastened.
