If you are tracking your vehicle and need the ability to quickly swap wheels and tires, stud conversions are going to be a must-have modification for your BMW. Additionally, if you're someone who just finds lining up your wheel studs without a wheel hanger, these will make your life easier.
Wheel studs are among the safest and 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. With studs you won't have to worry about dropping your expensive wheels onto the brake rotor. This kit includes: M14x1.25 to M14x1.50 CONVERSION Wheel studs in Black (20) M14x.1..5 19mm Black opened ended lug nuts (20) *Note: Apply Medium duty lock-tite to the studs (short thread end) and torque to 25 ft/lb. Lug nuts should be torqued to OEM specifications. For your safety retorque all hardware (studs and nuts) after 25-50 Miles

Threadlocker is essential when doing any work to your car, especially prepping it for the track. Loose bolts should never happen! If you are a do-it-youselfer, or do much wrench turning, then you know about threadlocker (generically known as "locktite" or by the brand name Loctite). You also know a little goes a long way. This small bottle of Palm Labs Turbo-Lock red threadlock is perfect for that small job -- or a few small jobs! This tube has 10 mL (0.34 fluid ounces) of high-temp, high-strength threadlocker. This bottle comes with two ways to apply: with a squeeze or with the included brush. There are just too many different uses for this, and no mechanic or DIYer, should be without some in his or her toolbox.
Red or Blue threadlocker? Red is the highest strength so use it when the fastener will not be removed regularly or ever again. The Red will need a great amount of force to break free and maybe even heat. Blue is the medium strength and will break free with hand tools. Use it for fasteners that need extra locking protection but will be removed / disassmebled on a semi-regular basis.
