Stainless Steel Wheel Studs
Stainless Steel Wheel Studs
(OP)
I recently saw stainless steel (supposedly) wheel studs for sale. I was also under the impression that there were no suitable stainless alloys for such an application.
Am I correct, or are there now stainless (or similar) alloys that can be safely used for automotive wheel studs...especially in performance (track tires/spacers, etc.) applications?
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
