['73-914kid]

I started a thread in the member vendor section to keep the garage clean. Please commit over there, and not here to keep things organized. Thanks everyone!

Hey guys, so a friend of mine owns a store that sells wheel stud conversion kits for BMW's, and is getting involved in Porsches. He had mentioned being interested in selling a kit for 914's at a group buy price if enough people were interested in it.

The kit includes 16 thread in studs, and 16 high quality ball seat nuts. (these nuts are not the cheap imitators. These actually fit our ball seat wheels). Both are made in Europe and are TUV certified, so it's good quality hardware.

The studs are bullet nose, and thread in with an allen wrench. Installation is easy, and only require the removal of you wheels.

Here's a pic from his website of the dimensions of the stud that will come with the kit:

I'll know pricing options when I get back with him later today, but for those interested, please chime in.

Thanks everyone, Ethan

We're aiming for an end date of December 9th at midnight.
Payment instructions will come after the group buy has closed.

For those who want to receive their studs BEFORE the group buy has ended, that is available, but you would forfeit any further discounts.

For example, say we have 24 people. If you want to receive your set now, you would only be eligible for the $7 off. If the group buy reaches another discount tier, you would forfeit that discount.

I know exactly what I needed, and trust this meets that need.

But, I back Bill, Lonewolf and others on the precaution they mention.

You probably would have pissed off fewer people if you just stated "not applicable for bone-stock or slightly spaced wheels on 914s"

If my response pisses someone off, we can take it up in private PM activity or keep it here for future enjoyment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

What, what? It doesn't fit stock vehicles? That would have been nice to know prior to signing up and buying. I suppose it's my fault for not carefully measuring first.

If anyone missed out on the group buy my set will be immediately for sale just as soon as they arrive.

Whoa whoa whoa... No one's saying these don't fit stock 914 wheels... These will absolutely fit. the nuts clamp down with the proper Porsche seat radius, and the studs screw in and lock down as they should. No issues of fitment on a stock car.

For some people's personal preference, they may stick out a fair bit on a stock 914, but this in no sense means that they "won't fit a stock 914".

If they are the one's like in your picture, I'm saying they are too small.

Ethan,
I appreciate your effort in putting this together. I'm not racing or auto crossing Like some of these guys so I prefer a stock appearance. Let me know when you put together a GB for a "stock" looking setup.

Thanks,
Bill

For those of you who purchased a kit, thank you. If youve installed the studs, please post of a pic of them on your car. Ryan is looking for cars to post up on his website with his kits installed.

Thanks everyone!
