If you aren't tracking you'll be fine with any of the regular studs.

i've used turner studs in the past. i liked them.

i'm currently on apex studs and i don't like them. i have had zero failures with studs so far, but the apex studs showed some corrosion early on. i can't recommend them.

my next set will be from MSI.

i sort of ignored that part since it isn't relative to studs.

Mimmer · 10-27-2020, 11:24 PM

You guys check how often on the stud?

My apex studs have been on for about 4 years now. They rusted at the tips but I painted them black to hide it. Other than that, no issues.

I have some weird white crustification as well as rust. Two years on these.

MSI 14mm press-in or dead.

roastbeef · 10-30-2020, 09:20 PM

Sheesh, I feel like I'm pushing it with two years of use... these are "consumable" parts guys.

Not after the 14mm MSI conversion. I'm prepared to die if they go this time.

LMFAO! your lack of attention span will be the death of you long before those studs.

Chris_PDX · 11-08-2020, 12:27 AM

I'm on the Apex bullet nose studs on the E92. No issues, no rusting.

luckyse7en · 11-14-2020, 01:54 PM

Been running Macht Schnell kit. But only about 8 months or so. No issues so far.

Mimmer · 11-26-2020, 12:50 PM

Did you guys put anything on the lugs help with rust?

I live in a rainy place ...

The instructions said put w40 on nuts that's it.

I read some people say keep the lugs clean but daily car wash enough or I need do anything else? 🤷🏽
