Thanks guy! I mostly got them for function as I find myself taking the wheels off more than I thought so these make that process MUCH easier. Studs > Bolts any day.

Germans and their wheel bolts... I would like the studs but not enough to spend the money.

Lots o cars from the motherland in my wrenching authority so a wheel hanger works well for all of them and cost me $10 off Amazon.

No doubt about it though, your setup looks dope and functional.

Link to Amazon? At my age I'm finding it difficult to use just the one wheel hangar

Yes

The issue i had with the wheel hanger was the ones i have r too short for the rear wheels. I cant get my fingers on them to spin them out on the sport technos. I guess i could have found longer pjns but studs seemed like a better solution.

Dude it is on like donkey Kong !!!

I’ll post video at midnight. Be there, come alone.

start with wheel off and.... Go. It’s like an old western duel, except neither of us are in the west, and instead of guns.... it’s ahhh wheels... but you know what I’m saying 🙂

I much prefer my studs over the factory bolts.
That was my first mod.
I've run them on my 996, the BMW135I I had before it, and all the watercooled VWs I used to own & race.
I run 56mm in front and 70mm in back.

No worries Joe...Maybe the next time you're going to drop the hammer down on some newb for a dumb *** question - you'll grant them a reprieve...Just make sure to let them know they were spared because I did a good deed

BTW... Just once, then you can go back to playing wack a mole with the newbs
