Where to buy 80mm wheel studs w/ threads almost down to hub?
Currently running 80mm studs with bbs e88 rims that work great.
When putting on thinner forgeline rims however the stud thread doesn't go down close enough to the hub to tighten down the rim.
The nut runs out of thread and the thinner rims aren't tightly secured to the hub.
Anyone know where you can get a 993 stud that would work for both rims?
Thank you for any info!

Acropora, did you end up buying the Automotion studs? Do you like them? How is the quality?
Do you guys know if Automotion products in general are good?
I'm looking at these;

80mm studs would be preferred but it seems the 80mm studs are discontinued.. Maybe possible to buy elsewhere? My only concern is that I hope the thread goes all the way to the bottom.. It certainly looks like it in the pictures but all the pictures show the same length studs so it makes you wonder.. race-studs.com does not sell wheel studs for the 993, just for the newer versions 996 onwards..
Also if you guys have a source for open ended steel lug nuts let me know. This is what is most commonly used on the track. These look quite good; http://www.race-studs.com/servlet/th...es-nuts/Detail
