There was a place at one time that you could buy screw in studs and matching lug nuts, but I think they went out of business. Anyone know of any recent suppliers that carry these? I tried the local parts store, and they wanted to sell me lug bolts.

Thanks,

Jason

 

I picked some up from a local tire dealer, they had allen key heads, nice pieces actually.

scroll half way down.

Im actually picking some up tonight

They dont have lugs though, just go to Pep Boys to get them.

 

I have some pressed in studs, I got them also from a local place. Thet work very well.

They have everything you'll need

 

Pinapple is where I went, and they are out of them. They are the ones who told me the supplier might have gone under.

what the advantage of having studs for nuts instead of the stock bolts?

 

a big advantage is they are lighter

also for some classes of racing they need to see the threads coming thru the nuts

they are also cheeper to get longer if you have an after market wheel..longer lug bolts are alot of damn money(for what they are)they are like 40 bucks for the next size up i got lug and nuts for 22 bucks here wooot


any tire place by you should sell them..just tell them you need the tuner studs that they use on the new VW's

 

Best price I found on studs was at ezAccessory.com...

ST948 Wheel Studs 12mm 1.50 RH 1.75" at 69 cents each

...shipping was more than the studs but they got here quick. For lug nuts I went Advance Auto Parts and they had them on the shelf. I hope this help some one as this thread looks just like every one I found when I searched and was little or no help.

 

You can go to freaking wal-mart to get lugs. They have a nice set of cold forged steel chrome lugs. Just make sure you remember your lug diameter and thread pitch.

 

...and at half the price of Advance if I remember correctly, sorry I forgot about that when I posted.

 

Thanks

 

See www.cwausa.com for just about any studs, bolts, lugs, spacers, adapters etc. that you might want.

 

...any VW shop. You need 12x1.5

 

Just letting you guys know that we found a new supplier for the screw-in wheel studs, so they are back in stock. Our price is $1.50 each in sets of 16 ($24 per set). We also have the matching nuts. I also got some 1.75-inch and 1.5-inch length studs for those who want something shorter. Plenty on hand and the new supplier seems a lot more stable than our old supplier.

 

you mean fb studs?

 

Yes, screw-in studs for 12A FBs. GLS-SEs and 2nd gens have press-in studs.

 

ive changed my fair share of fc studs.

i should have all 16 studs that came off an 84gsl if you want them let me know. ill let them go for pretty cheap.

 

i found a tire shop by me that had lugs and nutz for $24 wooot sweet deal just look around for them

 

I'll take them.

 

sent you a pm.
