Saw them on ebay and wondered if anyone had tried them and what the quality is like?

not used these but id opt for press in studs over these .

That would mean removing the wheel hub and pressing in from behind wouldn't it? Don't want to take the hubs off really as I've only just fitted a new pair of front wheel bearings

I've never heard of anyone using press in studs in an e30, mainly because it would be a massive ballache as you'd have to get the hubs machines to accept a splined stud.

There are loads of people using screw in studs, I'm sure there have been threads in the Motorsport / trackdays section.

As long as the studs are a decent grade, and thread locked in place then they'll be fine.

I use similar screw in studs on my track car, my wheels have not fallen off yet

I can appreciate the advantage for a track car, especially if running endurance races, but what's the point on a road car?
There's a perfectly good tool in the boot tool kit to line a wheel up to the holes in the hubs.

I have a set of these I used for about 2 trackdays, £30 posted if you want them? Bought from the same ebay seller.
I changed to longer shouldered studs with bullet noses for quicker swapping of wheels.
Nothing wrong with the quality, just make sure you clean the hub threads out with a tap and brake cleaner before loctiting them in

Thanks for the replies
