    Performance wheel studs?

    Have anyone here replaced their OEM wheel studs with something with a higher tensel strength? I'm looking at the APR lineup but they only have M12X1.5 thread pitch in Honda and Late model GM applications.. would those work?

    Why do you want to replace your OEM studs? Are they starting to warp or strip?

    yup, never hurt to have stronger than stock parts. My wheels goes off and on more times in a month than I could count and I cross thread a stud every now and then especially when using the crappy OEM open end lug nuts (for the steelies only ocourse). I've broken at least 4 wheel studs and cross threaded a few others in my days (yes I always torque to spec) and I noticed most of them are rusting up.. Toyota charge about 3-4ea for replacements and thats about exactly how much APR studs costs so I thought I might as well upgrade to some nicer chrome moly studs.
