My Rogue Engineering STUD conversion

I am a beefy beefy mon, I am a stud.

This kit is unreal. Some time ago I posted a formula for unsprung wieght, and per pound, what save and what it translates to in WHP. I forget the formula now, and I am not looking for because, I am not, but this is unreal.

This kit claims to save over 1lbs. per wheel for BMW. I picked up the bag with the alloy lug nuts and couldn't belief it. The bag, with 20 lug nuts, and 7mm allen key is unrealistically light. I dug out a C7 wheel bolt. I swear, this feels like the entire bag with the lugs is lighter then a single C7 bolt. The whole thing, bolts included, is easily half the wieght of the small box I have my C7 bolts in.

Anyway, for $120 bucks shipped, I am astonished. PICS! Evosport also sells a stud kit, identical to the 12x1.5 wheel bolts that Turner Motorsports sells for BMWs. I choose this kit for it's light weight.
