Heck our everyday price is half or less of anyone else's Group Buy price! Our mega long 80mm studs with lugs and Loctite costs all of $85. Go look up long stud kits from anyone else... they are going to be 100-250% higher.

Our 5-lug 60mm stud kit - with Loctite, installation tool and lug nuts - costs $60. 4-lug kits are fifty bucks.... Come on, a GB? You're killin me. :rolleyes :D

Our wheel spacers are also lower in price than the "brand name stuff" by 10-20%, and they are also from the same Italian OEM manufacturer that is ISO9001/traceable materials/etc. - just like all of our high end studs (75, 80 and 90mm) and lug nuts. We have 5mm, 10mm and 18mm made for all 5-lug, 3 series BMWs.

We stock thousands of studs ands lugs and ship within 24 hours. You even get a free Vorshlag sticker! How cool is that? :D

What is the status of the competition studs with quick threading ends that don't have a shoulder requiring a minimum 5mm spacer?

DingDingDing! :D

WHAT!? I bought these around Christmas time last year and didn't get a sticker :(

Its on our list of "medium priority" projects, ETA Q3 or Q4 2007. We've got so many "top priority" projects right now we can't even see straight...

If you didn't get a sticker with your order (I don't think we had started shipping stickers until earlier this year) just remind us in the "Notes" seciton of your next order and I'll make sure you get 2. Working with a fellow racer/vinyl supplier to get more sizes of the VoMo stickers and offer them on the website cheap. But hey, there's always this option (http://www.vorshlag.com/cart/product_info.php?cPath=51&products_id=131). :D

That is true. I brought some big stickers for your car to both the Houston Div and Tour events... but you no there! :devillook

Hehehe... I know, you're busy. Its all good. Get out to some big events and I'll give you a VoMo flag to wave! Divisional this weekend in Ft. Worth is going to be littered with VoMo cars/stickers.

i just have staggered m3 contours. do i just need the standard 60mm 5 lug kit?

Yea, no kidding. Been busy this summer. My schedule only allows for Sunday auto-x or a Saturday DE, hard to squeeze in a whole weekend.

i probably just need the 60mm ones,

why would you get the 80mm?????

For the people with spacers

Great prices, so how about to "tempt us" you maybe do free shipping? I bet we could easily get 20 in for the 60mm 5 lug kit for E36's.

1) Das Auto 60mm 5 lug kit See, there's one. :)

I have 8mm spacers so I would still be fine with the 60mm, correct?

I would bet Rob, based on the site saying up to 10 mm is fine. So that's 3 so far. :D

I already have the studs on my car but, two of them are stripped. Can I buy just 5 of the 60mm studs? Also, I would like a set of the black lug nuts as well. Send me a total w/ shipping and your preferred payment method. Thanks.

Das Auto - do you ever post NOT asking for a discount/freebie/GroupBuy? That's all I can seem to find you posting about. :confused :D

No on free shipping, No on Group Buy. Sorry, our prices are already WAY lower than everyone else. We don't have that much margin built into our prices to be able to offer huge discounts whenever you want. If you want overpriced BMW parts... well... don't look at Vorshlag.

We already sell a lot of wheel stud kits every day - because we have offer a great product at a very fair price.

Thanks! :)

In addition to complete wheel stud kits, we have studs and lugs priced individually on our website:

http://www.vorshlag.com/cart/index.php?cPath=1_4_33

Our shopping cart calculates shipping quicker than I can. :D You can do a mock order and get the shipping amount before entering cc info, and shipping is shown several ways (ground, 2day, 3 day, overnight, etc) for both USPS and UPS.

Thanks,

Thanks Fair,
I will be ordering the parts today.

I was just hoping I could get enough interest to produce sets of the competition studs without the long shoulder that requires a 5mm spacer....

What is the advantage of running a stud conversion kit over normal lug nuts?

Normal threaded lugs are not allowed by many racing bodies because you cannot visually tell if they are fully engaged.

Also, if you crossthread a threaded lugnut you will have a much worse time fixing it than compared to a crossthreaded stud.

As well as the above statements, there is also the ability to run any number of wheel and spacer combos easily. Otherwise you would need different length lug bolts. Also, it is much easier to set the wheel on the studs and then torque the nuts on than it is to try to hold the wheel in place and set the lug bolts. Also, if you get the nicer studs, you have a lead in for the nut so it is harder to cross thread the studs. Even if you do, it is much easier to replace them than it would be to replace an entire hub.

+1 to old skool's info. Also, along the lines of what BraveUlysses wrote, there is also the repetitive wear on the hub holes.

With wheel bolts, each removal/re installation puts wear and tear on the threaded holes in the wheel hubs vs wearing the threads on replaceable wheel studs. Replacing a stripped or worn wheel hub is much more expensive and difficult than replacing wheel studs.

And as any wheel stud manufacturer will tell you that with repeated/competition use, replacing wheel studs every 2-3 years is a good idea. Also, don't forget to use anti-seize. Reapply a dab of anti-seize every 3-9 months to avoid gall and to ensure proper torque readings. :)

It also makes removal/install of wheels much easier. Between this, an impact gun, and a low-profile jack or a lift, you'll find working on your car to be a much quicker affair.
