My 914 came with a set of those studs in place of the wheel bolts. I will admit that they made mounting wheels easier, but they were a pain in the posterior in the end. One or two would come out with the nut every time I took off a wheel, even though I used the strongest LockTite available to hold it in place. And one stud consistently stripped threads off the wheel bolt for that location. I can't be sure if that was due to a slightly bent wheel or a belt flange or just because it was determined to cause me problems.
In the end, I ended up replacing them with bolts which all worked as they were supposed to.
