Currently looking for a wheel stud conversion kit as well. Was interested in the Future Classic titanium kit IND sells but not sure if it's worth the money over the steel kits.

I've had Macht Schnell on my E90 track car for the last 12 years. Not a single issue. I also bought them for my G80 and they sre great.

Running Macht Schnell right now. Not a lot of data... one autocross, one track day...
I did note some galling on the run up of the studs, but not where there is the torque interference at wheel torque. I've contemplated using a lube or anti-seize, but haven't as of yet. I replaced the nuts after my last track day (yesterday), only because of personal bugaboos (and it's my daily driver), which runs about $90 for a full set of 20.

BimmerWorld offers various length wheel studs from stock length to lengths that can accommodate 15-18 mm-thick spacers. Their bullet nosed studs are made from heat treated 12.9 grade Chromoly steel. They also use 14x1.25 threads into the wheel hub but use 14x1.5 threads for mounting the wheels.

Depends how much you want to spend. On my previous track/race cars I have used MAI and stuck to that on my G80. They supply NASCAR, if that’s any consultation.

We typically run Macht Schnell, Motorsport Hardware, and Bimmerworld stud kits. We also advise against all titanium kits due to corrosion and strength.

I buy individual Motorsport Hardware brand studs and lugs from FCP Euro, that way I can replace them every season as-needed for almost free.
