I ordered some already but so I know, Whats the torque setting during installation.

Are they still good to 105 ft lbs. like OEM wheel bolts?

We recommend a maximum 90 ft lbs.

They come with install instructions and torque settings for both stud and lug nuts. Thanks for your order! Confirmed

It has never been so hard to get someone to take my money...

I am plan to buy your studs. F80, BBS FI-R. Would you recommend 75 or 82mm studs for the looks? Regular nuts or “tuned” one? I am not planning to run more than 15mm spacers. Thanks!

You could go with either 75MM or 82MM with <15mm spacer but aesthetically I just really like the 82MM version better. I went with the tuner lug nuts, mainly for aesthetics as well.

So, I noticed while changing my tires last week that my studs do not sit perfectly in the center of the holes (slightly off angle). The wheels mount just fine and thread perfectly fine so maybe it's normal and I'm being nit-picky but I e-mailed Chad @ MRG about this and was told these should be changed very few years. I never heard of having to replace my other studs (non titanium). This is expensive for a 2 year life...and I thought I was investing into something much better than standard conversion kits.

I'm still awaiting warranty information but has anyone else had this experience?

You should def replace studs every so often if you track the car. I bought a set of the titanium studs, they were absolutely beautiful but I ended up returning them. There wasn't a lot of evidence that they were better than steel or made much difference in rotating mass. The negative claims on Ti studs floating around the internet turned me away too.

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but this is for anyone who might be in the market for MRG Titanium Studs. Steer clear from them! They may potentially kill you, and their customer service is absolutely terrible when confronted with it. They'll just block and ignore you.

If I were to get Ti studs, it would be these… but that's a BIG IF since I don't want to take that risk haha
