Default Advice on hardened wheel studs?
Looks like I need real wheel studs, but I hate the look of long studs on a street car (i still street my trackday s2k). So who makes the shortest stud?

Hard = brittle. Not really what you should look for in a wheel stud.

i have arp studs on the front, im running a spacer and my lug nuts are long enough to cover the whole stud. if you want them shorter you can always cut them down a bit with a dremel

the truth is if you're breaking studs its probably you.

how are they breaking them? what mods do you have on the car?
