I was waiting for someone to ask...LOL.

I have extended studs from when I was running smaller spacers without built in studs. Once I put on my larger spacers with built in studs the extended studs were visible if you looked closely. Because of how my wheels are designed I'm able to put lug nuts on the extended studs. RRYDE as a joke put a set of R40s on the extended studs and we thought it looked cool so we left them on.

Not out in Cali^^

Marcus, I am really impressed at your attention to detail. You were one of, if not my first, inspiration to really get serious about modding my G when I bought her, and here we are 2 years later and your ride just keeps getting better by the day.

Well done sir.

Aluminum and stainless steel does not rust.

Thanks Chris. The bolts are stainless steel and were polished by Randy.

Hehe, thanks Monard. Like Randy said ran this setup at Wekfest. The lead judge was all over it. Was walking through the car and all he wanted was to hear about how I was able to run 10 lugs.

Thanks man. Like Randy said no corrosion or rust issues since stainless steel and aluminum don't rust. I've only chromed the parts that cannot be polished, no issues at all.

^True, though aluminum will corrode, and if not polished regularly, it gets that annoying haze (as I'm sure you're aware)
Given enough time and bad enough conditions low grade stainless will haze and get surface rust.
Obviously neither of those affect Marcus' ride much, but could be much more tangible for cars that see harsh winter conditions.

Ah makes sense, because I noticed that since my car has been sitting around for a long time without moving that I noticed surface rust on my rotors, inbetween my lug nuts (open ended), and just all around that general area. I was scared to get any polished parts because I can be extremely neglectful sometimes lol.

You should have kept the 10 lug nuts a secret
