See my earlier post regarding McKenzie's performance. On their web site ( http://www.mckenzies.com ). Click on McKenzie's products. From there, select page 11 and scroll down to the bottom until you find the 14mm wheel studs (very bottom of page). It shows what lengths are available. Unfortunately, no prices are listed. However, the studs are 10.9 grade, which is very good (don't settle for less). Once again, their phone number is: 1-888-426-7491 As stated before, I still have no affiliation with McKenzie's other than being a multi-time satisfied customer. Cheers, Bruce
