Suggestions for wheel studs and lengths
I'm mounting aftermarket momo 6 heritage wheels on my 996.1 (they arrived!). The momos are custom and should not need spacers. That said, I want steel studs that will accommodate 15mm spacers on the rear, and 10mm front. I've found the studs at uro tuning, black, the correct length to accommodate my stock wheels when I Mount them. I want black or dark bronze nuts, 60 deg conical, preferably with floating cone washers. Unless they are not needed, but it does seem they would prevent scratched...Does anyone have a source?
Failing that, there are these Vossen Bolts in various lengths, 60deg cone seat, WITH floating washers, that for some reason include the disclaimer "only for use with Vossen wheels". The folks at uro tuning warn me they should work, but they cannot guarantee them, and they're a non returnable item...
I've been up and down the Internet looking at rennline, tarrett, MSI (tarrett are made by MSI?) And my head is spinning.

I got the msi becuase i track the car and u wanted the best but they r more $. Their middle length works with a 15mm spacer but it puts the nut at the end of the treads. I have there middle length front and back.
Not sure if tarret is buying from msi but when i shopped 2 years ago they were different. Tarret would also be the only other brand i would consider.
The msi have a round nose and u dont have to start the nut, u just hammer it on with the air gun. Again i track the car so i swap wheels alot.
I was challenged to a wheel mounting contest by @zbomb and i made a vid.

My wag guess is the medium size is 60mm. I am running 15mm spacers on Carrera wheels using 60mm wheel studs. Gotta keep the wheels torqued as a "just in case" they loosen with very little thread left. I bought a set of either 70 or 80mm acer Titanium wheel studs that I haven't put on yet. Quality looks very good. They come in black as well. Hope it helps.
