If you change wheels with a different seat, you can just get a new set of lug nuts instead of the cost of complete new set of lug bolts.

I will have a set of Rivs for street with 60* cone seat and Fuchs with the ball seat for the competition tires...
just need 16 nuts instead of a complete set of lug bolts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
If you are AXing or DE/TT you change or at least remove your wheels often and the studs make it much more efficient, especially at an event.
