Stud conversion
Hello everyone,
I will be receiving my new custom wheel soon and I've been wanting to covert to studs and lugnuts. I did a lot of searching and I found only 3 companies that make stud conversion kits: Macht Schnell, Turner motorsports and VAC. Unfortunately, all 3 options above offer black studs and black lug nuts. I know this is purely cosmetic, but I wonder if anyone offers lug nuts and studs in different colors. I am looking for silver or polished steel

Stick with a quality steel stud which can only be found in silver or a black finish, then top that off with a quality colored anodized aluminum or titanium lug nut for a splash of color.

Vorshlag, Bimmerworld, and ECS (H&R) all sell the studs too.
You can get any lug nut u want, just make sure you opt for the ones with a 12x1.5 thread pitch. If 12x1.5 is available u will be able to select it. http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm...tegory_Code=L1

We also offer the Macht Schell stud conversion kit without the lugs. Made of high quality steel these come in a black finish.
To top it off we also offer various color options in lug nuts!! More colors also available!!
