I looked into the stud style, but H&R only makes it in 21mm (and then way bigger sizes). I wanted 23mm so I had the option to run a 275 if I want (they are 993 hollow spokes in 18x10 ET65). They only make the sandwich style in 23mm so as it worked out I had to use the sandwich style. Wheel swaps would definitely be easier with the studs, but its not so bad. So far everything has worked flawlessly, and I beat the holy hell out of my car!! :-)

For future reference, the length of the standard oem lug bolt is 28 mm's . Here is a simple formula to follow when determining longer lugs to accommodate spacers :

* 28 mm's + the size of the spacer (i.e. thickness) = the length of the lug bolt needed .

HAHA! You can see that? I didn't know they were smoking until I saw the pics a week later. Apparently I wore them a bit too long and started overheating them, they were almost down to the velcro!
