petone 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2006 I'd be keen as well. other options are blackforestindustries.com or motor-force.com around $50 from black forest and $40 from motor force, shipping could be different though. Group buy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spargo Report post Posted September 25, 2006 (edited) I'd need 4 more than you two. Guess we'd have to buy their BBS wheel nuts too? 75mm or 90mm? Edited September 25, 2006 by Spargo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess we'd have to buy their BBS wheel nuts too? 75mm or 90mm? huh? why would you go with turner when there are kits out there a third of the price? worth a shot asking for a discount for 3. powerflex did with our CABs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
conrod 1 Report post Posted September 25, 2006 If you want the screw in ones, then figure out what you need and get an engineering shop to make 'em, should only cost about $10 each if you get 30 or more made. I have used Ford Transit ones in the past,(on about 2 or 3 E30's) M12x1.5mm, nice heat treated pieces, only $4.50 each, and coming off a Transit, you know they are going to be tough! Only thing is you need to remove front and rear hubs, have the threads drilled out to 14mm, spot face the rear of the drive flange/hub and press the studs in. Much better IMO than a screw in stud which can unscrew out with the wheel nut. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
325GRANT 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2006 got mine from CPA in Petone cant remember how much they were but is wasnt much Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petone 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2006 Grant- wheel bolts or proper screw in stud kits? I wouldn't have expected CPA to carry stud kits. The transit studs isnt a bad idea but your still looking at $100+ all up and its a bit of work. I do agree with you though that its a better solution than screw-in studs. I'll get in touch with the 2 places I listed and see what they can do. If their going to rape us on shipping I might get em sent by family over there.

HQ HOLDEN they're got a 2"shank, 7/16 diameter [real imperial measurements] and you can bash 'em in with your balljoint hammer [they're long enough for 1/2" spacers] If you need studs for Racing, use MOROSO 3" studs.Available via Mail Order from Summit Racing [uSA] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petone 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2006 The motor-force guys are keen to help out, but shipping will be a killer. Even with 3 people still looking at roughly $50US each just for shipping. They would drop the price of the studs depending on how many people bought them. I may get then sent to family over in the US and get them to post them but shipping would be longer. Anyone else keen?

SRBMW 6 Report post Posted September 28, 2006 Yea I've got studs on mine those screw in ones arn't that great i can sell you my ones soon if your interested gus they are very long because i have an alloy spacer to make p35 wheels clear the coilover but they are ten times better than the bmw setup!
