wheel stud conversion kit

Hi,
Has anyone tried the 14-12 mm stud conversion kit from Texas Speedworks? Any Issues? I have aftermarket rims for autocross and they require tuner lugs. I was using the palo uber 14mm tuner lugs, but the key has already broken.

I have the TSW conversion kit, and it's great. The only issue I've had is that the black coating is prone to surface rust. Nothing that affects their functionality, though. Every now and then, I clean the threads with a wire brush and put some anti-seize on the exposed threads, and all's good.

You'll like them for autocrossing - it makes it a LOT easier to swap out wheels.

I used the conversion kit to install my Panasports on the R-56. This kit is the elegant solution to install gen I wheels on a gen II MINI. No issues, everything fit and worked as stated. Jeff, Scott and Dr. Mike are great guys.
