Thanks for the replies! Looks like everyone's in favor of a stud conversion

LOL...A stud conversion is not necessary unless you are actually doing a lot of track time and a fair amount of wheel changes. Otherwise, it's bling. If that's what you are going after then by all means go for it. If you were asking about aftermarket lug bolts (and not lug nuts+studs) then there are a few routes. Turner has them as does Bimmerworld. Chrome or black

I wouldnt say its just for bling factor. Stud conversion is also safer I think. I had all 5 lug bolts break and blow off of my car on my e90 335i. Good thing my car was lowered, which kept the wheel inside the fender. Did some damage but I was only going 20 MPH so it could have been much worse. I presume that my lug bolts were over torqued by the shop that previously worked on my car.

I was looking into aftermarket lug bolts options because a set of lug bolts snapped off the wheel (4/5 thank jeebus). I'm currently back on oem's now

studs are also much easier to use with spacers. You don't have to get the wheel up and try and get a straight shot wheel - spacer - hub ... to put the lug through.

also saves the wheel falling and hitting off of your brake rotors

Agreed - plus allows you to use different spacer sizes without having to keep track of a bunch of extended lugs. Really useful if you have multiple wheel sets and/or buy new wheels often.
