Stainless Steel Wheel Studs

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.
