need to pick up 10 extended studs for my rear wheels.

12x1.50 40mm length


i've tried a few places... but all have a 5 day wait for some no-name studs. if im going to wait for them, i'd rather try finding a higher quality set than getting some cheap ones that might break.

any suggestions will be appreciated.

thanks

Tried a few places? We drove around for like 2 hours trying to find them.

well summit does carry studs.. but do they have the right size..


also looks like ARP makes studs for most vehicles but also cost like 3-5 times more.

but i guess if you have to go with extended studs, its better to get better quality ones so they wont break. and ARP is known to make shit that doesn't break.

Raceworks in my sig has them or can order them but like you said it may be a few days...

ARP makes the best, I seen you ran slicks before last year (I think)... I would defiantly recomend the ARP wheel studs. I have used Moroso and they have not held up like the ARP do. Also make sure you go slightly larger with the knurl diameter so it's safe.

Not to mention, that they kept arguing with you about what parts you need for your own car.

LoL, ask Dingo about his ARP head studs breaking when Top Speed torqued them down. Evidently the metal had an air pocket in it. I'm not saying that ARP is a bad company, I'm just saying that their products (just like any other product) will always have its flaws.
