Well my stud conversion and bolts finally arrived the other day 
these were a bit of a pain to put in but found the easiest way was to lock to bolts onto each other on the thread and then use these to wind the stud into the hub (of course using loctite!).

After I had bought my wheel nuts i started hearing alot of horror stories about running aluminuim nuts, and to top it all of turns out the nuts of ordered are well known to strip the threads if your not carefull. Luckerly when I ordered the studs I ordered them longer knowing I wanted to use every last thread in the lug nut for security. Once on I got my matching dust caps on (as you have to) and took a couple of pics in the fading light.
**will add at this point do not touch d1 spec wheel bolts from ebay, as i've found there made of cheese and mark very easily. You pay for what you get unfortunatley**
