Longer wheel studs

I am searching for 75mm coated tensile steel studs. 12mm x 1.5. Tuner is currently out of stock but that's the exact ones I'm looking for Anyone knows of any other place? Also planning to use longer and lighter tuner style lug nuts.

If you are not in a big hurry, I'm going to make some plain (no hex key / bullnose) ISO 10.9 studs. 13mm threaded x 14mm unthreaded x 30mm (or whatever).

I have these from TC Kline. Extremely high quality and what our local dealership uses on their spec cars. They don't do the "ultra-coated" ones. Use the standard "Nascar" ones. I know, NASCAR, on a MINI. Don't worry they go on M5's as well!

What are your's made out of? Any pic and spec? Is always nice to know someone can fabricate it. But not at $9.95.

I haven't made any yet, so my specs are open. The TC Kline studs in 4140 are probably heat treated to grade 8 (very close to 10.9). You can read my post above for what I was planning on making, but I can make a few variations, if there is interest. If I only make a few, they will be cut thread vs. roll thread. Regardless of number made, these will NOT be a backyard / shop project and WILL have FULL material and strength test documentation.
