However, they are more difficult to remove. Bring a big sledge. Other alternative is to use Empi studs. I get them for $3 for 5. Most places sell it for $7-$8 for 5. The only thing I don't like is the nipple at the end of each stud. You can grind these down if you don't like the way they look. Having them makes wheel installation a little easier. BenT |
