Wheel studs are among the safest and most beneficial upgrades you can make on a track car. Not only are wheel studs safer than wheel bolts but they make changing wheels/tires much easier. One of the frustrating things about installing your wheels on the hub is that it's difficult to line up the wheel on the bolt holes. As wheels get larger but also heavier it's even more trouble. Add in a wheel spacer and the task is twice as hard. BMW does produce a wheel alignment pin for this purpose but if you're changing wheels often a stud conversion is the better way to go.

MSI Racing specializes in hardware for motorsports and other advanced industries and their wheel studs are some of the very best in the professional motorsports world. MSI is already a major supplier to teams in the top NASCAR categories and we tried them on our Grand-Am/IMSA racecars and were very impressed by the performance and durability of their designs. After testing them over the course of a few endurance seasons we decided to offer them to all of our customers as well. These studs are available in multiple lengthsand all sizes are made with aircraft quality material and have roll formed threads. The coating is a dry film lubricant HM-30 coating containing Teflon & Moly over a manganese phosphate finish. This coating process reduces friction and wear to prevent thread galling. Another benefit is that these have the best corrosion resistance we have seen in any wheel stud! A dry lube stud has the most corrosion resistance than a plain black coating because the lube is applied over the black phosphate coating. Salt tests have shown this stud is superior to others in corrosion resistance. Other features of our MSI studs include a large bullet nose nut-starter and a properly sized shank to work with a wider range of BMW wheel, nut, and brake rotor combinations.

These studs are the perfect choice for endurance racers, sprint racers, track-only cars, or even hardcore street cars. The bullet nose on this stud is deeper than other studs we have used. More of the stud protrudes through the open nut so that everything lines up better on the threads. This helps to eliminate the possibility of cross-threading or thread stripping. In addition, the shank has been machined for proper brake rotor alignment. The dry lube helps the nut engage and glide over the threads for faster pit stops without cross threading or binding.

Not all wheel studs are created equal. We don't take a manufacturer's generic wheel stud from their catalog and call it our own. Turner Wheel Studs are designed to our own specifications and manufactured for us exclusively. Beware of cheaper studs on the market! We have seen other studs similar to our own designs that are not a true BMW fitment. There are differences that we have ironed out over our years of selling wheel studs for the BMW market. Our stud prices may be slightly higher than the rock bottom prices on the web but we promise that it's a higher quality.

Sold per stud.

The Style 162 'Ellipsoid' wheels were originally used on the E90 330i with the factory Sport package. The broad spokes make the wheel look bigger than it actually is. This is a staggered wheel set - 18x8.0 ET34 in the front and 18x8.5 ET37 in the rear. This is an easy staggered fitment for 3-series cars. On older models such as the E36 and E46 that used higher factory offsets the tire clearnce to the outer fender may be tight. This is an easy fit to E9X cars though.

Style 162 Wheel Set includes:

• 2 x 18x8.0" ET34 Style 162 Ellipsoid Styling Wheels (BMW #36116775601)
• 2 x 18x8.5" ET37 Style 162 Ellipsoid Styling Wheels (BMW #36116775602)
• set of 4 wheel center caps (BMW #36136783536)

As with any wheel retrofit, particular attention must be paid to tire sizes, ride height, and alignment settings. We cannot guarantee wheel fitment for every application. Careful consideration of wheel width, offset and tire sizing must be observed when choosing and installing wheels. Adding different or larger wheels may lead to rubbing on suspension components or bodywork. Wheel spacers, new alignment settings, fender modifications, or other adjustments may be required. Retrofitting wheels from one chassis to another may not be compatible with your TPMS system (new TPMS or a TPMS emulator may be requried).
