I went to tons of auto shops in north nj, no one has 12x1.5 wheel studs 1.5" long. Anyone know where to get them: http://www.gorilla-auto.com/imagesProducts3/5621.jpg

are you trying to convert it to a stud with a nut? if so go to www.rogueengineering.com in their BMW catalog go to the wheel accessories and then scroll down to the wheel stud conversion.

Yep, Rogue will have them. Forget looking at regular auto stores, any metric shop should have them.

If you can't find a metric shop in the area (usually their listed under Industrial Supplies and will have metric in their names), call these guys up - http://mdmetric.com/. They're local to me in Baltimore.

i can call the owners and find out how long the studs are but for what reason do you need that specific length? if it is to run a spacer i know that the rogue ones will work with up to a 10 mm spacer. so if that is your concern you should be covered.

there's a shop in Lodi that does just these things. It's behind the Pathmark on 17 (don't know what that road is called). Go thru parthmark's parking lot away from the Blvd and make a left. it's a creeky little shop on the left about 1/8 of mile. they should have it.. they have every kind of screw, nut, bolt, etc you can think of.
