Stud Conversion Kit?

Has anyone done a stud conversion kit on their M5? I'm thinking about placing an order for the kit today and just wanted to get some feedback. Thanks in advance.

I bought my stud kit from http://motorsporthardware.com in the 75mm length about a year ago. Easy to install, free shipping for the kit when I made the purchase, and he'll now sell lug nuts separately if you'd like some spares. No problems with the studs loosening, and the wheels have been off and on many times. Seems much better to me than torquing the stock mounting bolts into the aluminum hub at 104 ft. lbs over and over.

I bought studs for my car from the same website... super fast shipping and great quality studs. I recommend them as well.

studs make mounting and unmounting wheels so much easier. no more trying to turn the wheel while on the hub while trying to check if the holes are lined up...

Still no problems with the stud kit. Same as my post earlier in this thread. To add some detail, I used red loctite high strength on the studs. Placed a witness mark to make sure no rotation has occurred with multiple on and off torquing, and none has. These are the 75mm versions in the picture.
