He got a good price on the studs if they are American made, he must have steel wheels,I have some here I bought from Nicks for $5.70 ea for steel wheels made in China though I use those for paper weights

The studs cane from euclid (no idea where they were made) @ 9.45ea left and 9.75ea right. All new nuts and washers on the back side and new lug nuts @ 1.39ea. Overnite freight at just over $20.

Almost double in price as for the China made you probably did get American made studs.hard for me to understand how they can justify doubling the price for a 1/4 inch longer stud for Alcoa wheels  ??? on a MCI
