Rally design should be much cheaper than Tweeks

If your too lazy to sort the disc screws, it helps that plus with spacers.

I've got the stuff to do mine just haven't got around to it.

Saves having to get longer bolts when you have spacers too.

i like studs on the puma, only downside is if you want to fit longer ones say for spacers or something, then you have to split the hubs and buy new wheel bearings as it destroys those in the process.

The studs are intereference pins and need knocking out

You wont have this problem screwing studs into normal hub holes though

dont really see any benefits other thn putting the wheel back on takes 5 seconds longer with bolts

I much prefer studs too, much much easier to line up. I plan on doing mine once I finally finish the Corsa :lol:

I far prefer studs on the Puma, going back to bolts now is like WTF where are the holes.

Trying to line up a 6 stud 4x4 pick up wheel onto studs isnt so easy though, only time Iv worked with studs and was a ballache with the weight of the wheel and you thought one was lined up but rest were way out

Yeah I got sick of that as I had no bolt holding disc to hub and used to have spacers as well do was quite annoying at times.

One of my mates recently spent 30mins trying to get a wheel on. He kept turning it to line it up and didnt realise he was just turning the whole disc :lol: :lol:

or 16 of these
