Ok so I have a question about wheel studs for the 914. My car currently has wheel studs that are found on pretty much every car. Where the stud and lug nuts are two separate pieces. Well yesterday two of my studs came off with the lug nuts, and when I went to find replacement studs they looked like this. http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx19/19...zpsc833ab60.jpg Where the stud and lug is one piece. So my question is can I find wheels studs like are my car now, or will i just have to replace all my studs with the factory ones? Here's a picture of the stud and lug that came off my car if it helps. http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx19/19...zps88246fd3.jpg Sorry if I'm not being clear but its kind of hard for me to explain it. If you need me to try and clarify, just ask and I'll try my best to.

Check the integrity of those threads on the hub (car). If you can, chase those threads with the correct size tap. if you want these three studs, Paypal me $13 at dangrouche@juno.com. I can mail them tomorrow. Usually the entire lug nut comes out like the stripped one you have there. Your challenge will be to separate the chrome from the stripped stud. If it were me, I would soak with PB blaster, put the beat up end of that stud in the vise, and remove the chrome. If necessary apply a small amount of heat, but not to the point of discoloring the chrome.
