is this safe as it doesn't look it?

 

[Fred@BTM]

pardon?

 

[The Boosh!]

lol excuse my noobishness...

you have to screw the studs into the hub right and seal them with locktight am i right?

only when you put proper bolts in you have to tighten them quiet a lot. with these you just do them as tight as you can with an allen key (the ones i have seen)...

they look like they willjust sheer off/break as soon as you get into the twisties

studs are normally stronger lol. there's hundreds of cars that run studs as standard too

you must have seen some pikey installs fella!

we had problems with low quality cast studs stretching, but we tracked down some proper rolled jobbies and they were sound, locktite and heat doesn't really do much!

Show me a proper race car than isn't running centre locks and doesn't have studs as the wheel fasteners and I'll show you a unicorn ;-)

Engineers use studs, accountants use bolts!
