    My 'dream' future plans will likely includes the use of spacers...so the extra length will be needed.

    I am with KC Jr on this one, I have the TMS studs and they are great, I am using the 90mm studs, I have 15mm spacers up front. What are your 'dream' plans KC ?

    15x9or10(if it ever gets made) 6ul w/ 275/35-15 Hoosier up front, and 225/45-15 15x8 6ul in the rear... It is a quick $2k on wheels and tires... But why not be prepared ?! lol

    As much as I'd like to be a fanboy for Turner (because their BMW race program is awesome), it's the little stamping on the end of the stud that gives away the reason behind the high quality and durability: ARP.

    ARP definitely manufactures some good hardware. However, I was not able to find this product in their 2011 catalog.

    That's probably because they make them to spec for Turner. You'll note the catalog does not have any studs of that type.

    Thanks Nathan, and yes I noticed that as well. It does look like a good product, and may be worth the extra $$ if they are much more corrosion resistant.
