    Magna studs = the goods. I've never had any trouble getting them in - just use a wheelnut and rattlegun, gets all five in within a few seconds.

    For smaller cars SW20 MR2 studs work well. I have them in the race car, and would feel safe in putting them in most cars.

    Yeah watch the depth if the nuts are blind. Put wrong length on a Nissan 280ZX with Symonds and wheels came loose after 300 km.
    Wondered what the scraping sound was got out and after jacking car up found I had pulled down the nuts to what I thought was the firm location of the wheels.
    Later found depending on the hub 1979-1981 or 1981-1983 the studs are longer in the later Girling Nissan hubs. So standard blind nuts from a 79-81 Datsun bed down on the blind cavity about 1mm short.
    Only solutuion to get home was to take two nuts off each front and pinch the washers to double them up and drive to nearest wheel shop and buy 8 new nuts of the right length (not too long and not too short) at $5 each

    Also Nissan metric is coarse Toyota metric is 2.5mm fine. Not interchangeable.

    This only applies to mags without chamfer retaining nuts.
