Essentially I think it all boils down to proper installation. I read a post where a member has stated that they ALL vibrate at some point. I'm hoping that is not true. 3 months later and 4k miles and no vibration and look still leaves me speechless! I always get them inspected before a road trip just for peace of mind tho. I will post when a wheel falls off!

And yes stud replacements

It is all in the installation ,I buy Z1 spacers and the two things I do to avoid a problem is a very thin piece of tape around the hub where the spacer sits to remove any sloppy fit and two tighten the wheel before you put the car back on the ground ,vibration free to well above the posted speed limit.
