decent wheel lug/stud combos

[sirocco@telocity.com (Randy B)]

Allyn,
When I went with the 8mm H&R spacers on Cosmos, I went to a local race/tire 
shop and ordered my studs/nuts and locking nuts.
Don't remember the price or the name of the mfg. but the quality was great 
and they have worked perfectly so far.
If you use blue loctite you should be able to remove them later if need be.

The H&R spacers on the other hand are a disappointment for the price. ($60/pr.)
It is partly my fault assuming the 8mm ones would be hubcentric...they 
aren't :(
I will probably throw them on E-bay when I get the new ones.
I am going to be ordering thicker 15mm ones (this is supposedly the 
thinnest size with the hubcentering ring).

HTH
