Default The Best lug nuts and studs money can buy, inside



Here at GSpeed, we were dissatisfied with the options that were available for lug nuts and the typical ARP stud. They worked, and got the job done, but always left something to be desired.

These studs are bad to the bone, no other way about it:
  • 20mm starter cone; reduces chances of cross thread.
  • Heat treated for ultimate strength
  • Dry film is baked on, and stays on for years of service. No anti-seize needed. (Note: Heavy track usage may warrant more frequent replacement.)
  • Long enough for spacers and thicker wheel pads, yet short enough to save weight.


You may use your current lugnuts, or opt for ours.
  • Lugnuts come painted yellow, so you can see them, or chase them
  • Baked on moly coating never needs lubricant.
  • Low clearance for tight clearances on some wheels
  • 19mm socket

We will update the site so the lugnuts and studs can be purchased individually, they are currently in kit for, studs and lugnuts.

If you purchase a set of SKFs and studs from us, we will install them free of charge.

Any chance you could share a picture of how the tail wing arms in your web site are mounted to the chassis?

Any pictures with the rear facia plastic off?

Do you guys have the swan neck versions?

Look very similar to MSIs offerings.

How we skinned that cat, Id rather not share. In a world full of copy cats and reverse engineers, its not hard, just how we chose to do it.

Its not a swan neck, and uses the known quanitiy GT2 wing from LG motorsports.

If youre considering purchasing one, I can explain in private how we mount the wing. I ask those that have purchased this kit not to share, as the imitators just come out of the wood work.

Fair enough, I figured that since there was no response. I was actually trying to get ideas, since I'm trying to rig up something that'd dual purpose as tire trailer hitch as well as mounting point for a wing. I'm also thinking of possibly fabricating swan neck brackets.

I wouldn't recommend ours for that purpose, no. The mounts were designed for this wing we understand pretty well, and hanging a trailer hitch off the back sort of throws all that out the window.

That being said, we'd love to fabricate something custom for you.

I appreciate it. I have a CNC programmer friend who has volunteered to help out, once I come up with a concussion. As much as I'd love to, it'd easier on my wallet!

Seeing those bolts coming out for mount point, I figured it wouldn't work for a small hitch, but I was just curious and trying to get ideas in order to get my act together!

I'm even thinking of coming up with a double exhaust tip to open up room for the chassis for mounting point. Or even a Ferarri style triple tip..something many members here would love to crucify me for!

We ran some FEA numbers for the wing itself, and it could probably support a small tire trailer, with say 50-75lbs of tongue weight, but with out figuring out exactly the load rolling down the highway, its hard to say.

What I'm thinking is putting one tire in the trunk (since two wouldn't fit), then put three in one of these:
http://m.harborfreight.com/500-lb-ca...not%20provided

I'm trying to come up with a bracket, attaching at two point to the chassis, with a center 2" tongue to support this. Then at the two chassis attachment points would each have a gusset to attach each of the wing brackets. It'll most likely be a while before I am able to think through a clean design, where I don't get egged on the street by Corvette enthusiasts!

Sorry for the thread/jacking, hopefully GSpeed doesn't mind all the free bumps!
