996 wheel bolts / studs
What are most guys running for wheel bolts and/or stud conversion kits for the track? I had a titanium race stud/nut kit (M12x1.5) on my BMW for years tracking and no issues. I havent been able to find anyone making these in M14x1.5 though...

I have rennline studs on my car. Expensive but worth it.

Been tracking these cars for years and seen many of the "baller" studs snap. I've always run German H&R studs with OEM steel nuts. We run these on all of our race cars also. Zero failures, ever.. I've snapped wheel hubs, gearbox output shafts, but never a single H&R stud...

What does "NASCAR quality" mean? Is that like "all Natural" eggs? haha
Thanks guys for all the options. I have reached out to OZMO Engineering, as they make the BMW M12 Titanium stud kit. They are going to make a custom set of M14 studs for me

Here is a pic of the new custom machined Titanium stud+lugnuts from OZMO. They look amazing; I just need to find the time to install them now...

Yeah, they are R14. OZMO has a forging tool for 12-point M14 nuts that they supply for GM trucks and Camaro guys. They used the same forging and just machined for R14 to suit Porsche. They charged $300 for the whole kit and said they made a few extra sets to keep in stock...

At the track I snapped 2 Mevius brand lug bolts and that was enough to make me switch to studs forever on anything I track.
H&R makes both Porsche OEM style Ball Seat and Conical nuts if you need those for wheels that take that style.
