Thanks all for the advice. Its an interesting subject.
chris_seven, are the standard Porsche studs available for say $500 for a set of 24
Flat6pac, $17 each new is tempting, will look into that, but added nuts etc bumps it up
304065, I totally get what you are saying, its like scrimping and buying cheap tires right, is it worth it. But, I work in risk analysis, or at least part of my job is that subject, but its on subjects I have knowledge and understanding of. So I guess the question would be, what is the risk, to be able to know whether its worth taking a risk on anything, you have to know what the actual risks, effects and probabilities are.
I used to buy used tires, good brands, Michelin, Good Year, some friends used to say, I would never buy used tires, why take the risk (again what is the risk ?) I used to say, ever bought a used car, sure, they had, you immediately go out and buy 4 new tires ?, no you dont (well most people don't) You have no idea what those tires have gone through, yes car condition in general gives an idea, but you get what im talking about.
Maybe I buy a set of 24 for $800, but I want to understand what risk im taking if I pay half
