These BMP studs are awesome!! Looks it too No more three armed tire changes

 

Can you tell us the length of the studs? What is the offset of your wheels? Are you using any spacers?

 

They're 50mm. I use 5mm spacers for now but the studs will allow up to 20...I think. My current offset is 40 with the 215/40 that I have on. They're pretty much at the limit without touching the lip (much ). Once I trim them, I'll try a 10mm spacer to bring the offset to 35ET

 

Nice, what is anodized red where the wheel cap should be?

 

They are metal hub centric rings

 

Are these titanium nuts??

msfitoy PM me for some import. 'CF' info

 

They're light enough LOL...alloy, is what they told me

PMing you...

 

I love mine, with a couple of caveats:

They have a tendency to work loose, check them to make sure they stay tight and use the red, or equivalent Locktite.
I had three of them snap off - I'm 99.9% sure this was from the impact my wheel took when I spun into a tire wall. But that .01% of doubt gives me a little mental hesitation.
When they break off they are a real PITA too get out. They are almost too hard to drill. I suggested to BMP that they put an allen head on both ends so that you could back them out from the other side.
Those nice black nuts scratch kind of easily, it helps to have a deep enough socket to go all the way to their bottom.

All that being said I'm still using them and it sure makes wheel changing a LOT easier.

 

What are torqueing them to Wouldn't think the studs should just snap off.

 

Snap off?? I think he mentioned that he ran off the track or something. I don't see how that could happen unless you applied excessive torque. Torque them to the same as the bolts...90lbs. Im my case...I torqued them to 100 just to prevent them from backing out when I remove the nuts. These stud goes in the same thread as the bolt except it held in place by torque and lock tite.



The short end of the threaded stud goes into the rotor.

 

Is their pricing really 4 bucks a lug, and 4 bucks per lug nut?

 

Yes...and Don't tell me you can do better...I don't want to hear it now....

 

Well, we do not carry the black color which looks great on your car... but if you want to see the price we sell at, just check the site... if not, then don't

 

Those are nice Dan...I would've consider yours if I had known. Thanks anyway. Am I correct in understanding that your studs are 32mm? Do you have 50mm which is what I currently have? How much for just the red open lug nuts (16)?

 

we have studs that are Total Length of 57 milimeters, 44.5 milimeters, and 38 milimeters of which 7mm is used up by the mounting into the hub. Normally we ship the 44 (37) milimeter ones, as they fit the stock, as well as most aftermarket, even with up to a 3mm spacer.

The nuts alone are 30 dollars.

 

With your longest stud, what is the maximum spacer width that can be used?

Are your nuts 17 or 19mm?

I'll be in touch for the nuts...that didn't sound right I'll PM you about the lug nuts

 

Those nice black nuts scratch kind of easily, it helps to have a deep enough socket to go all the way to their bottom.

Amen to that. I'm going to send the lugnuts out to get hard anodized. Also, the studs tend to get rusty. I wiped mine dowm with a little WD-40.

What's all this talk about my nuts... lets just call them wheel attachers

Anyway... you can use up to a 10 mm spacer before you will require a diffrent attachment method (bolts for spacers with lugs on the spacer) for safety reasons, even though we are using forged lugs.

 

Those studs look great! But your experience and that of others (including stripping) is the reason I haven't bought them. Just bought a new set of black stockers as the original set was getting worn. Don't know what the issue is with mounting. My wheels hang from the hub ring. Just line up the holes before mounting. Nothing like a stripped or broken stud to ruin a nice track day.

 

I have 58 and 80 MM options. Under $4 a stud.

I even have ultra light forged lugs under $4 a lug.

80's are great for well engineered track spacers!

Alex, do you have images of the forged lugs?

 

You bet! Call me to order!

 

You must have missed my blue nuts. Two track sessions and two auto-x's still doing fine.

Where do you get those?

 

A trick that I use when changing lugs is putting a plastic sandwich bag over the lug nut first before the socket. It really helps to keep the lugs looking like new. Also I never use air tools on them.
