Question Apex Track Studs: Do these look right?

Had someone recently tell me that my track studs were installed incorrectly which was pretty shocking to me as I followed the directions to the letter and already have 4 track days on them without any issues. Can you spot an issue? They look good to me. These are M14.PRO.80 from Apex Competition Systems. https://www.race-studs.com/collectio...ant=1106029364

If they couldn't be bothered to tell you what/why they were "incorrect" I wouldn't get too stressed about it.
"Looks" fine to me.

The only way to know for sure what that person meant when they told you your studs were installed incorrectly was to have them explain why is said it. They look OK to me. I think the problem is "Everyone is an Expert"

Thanks for the feedback guys. Just to clear things up a bit, this post was in no way intended to discredit the person whom made the observation.

@Petza914 I'll have a pic with the wheels on later in the week..she's still up in the air getting prepped...and well...she's FILTHY right now
