Shifteck wheel stud kit review

I ordered the Shifteck wheel stud kit for my f80 m3 last weekend and finally had the chance to put them on. This was a complete kit. Came with the stud, lug nuts and loctite. Very high quality parts that are comparable to other kits out on the market. Priced very reasonably, paid $95 shipped. Extremely easy to install, came with directions but I didn't even bother to look at them. Whole install literally took me 30 minutes and the most time consuming part was jacking up the car and taking off the wheels. Now I can finally change my wheels in the dark at ease

Their customer service is horrible. I emailed them for the missing threadlock for my kit that they forgot to pack, they promise to send it out end of September, and now it almost end of October. Numerous emails and voicemails are now ignored.

Its not about the money , its about the principle. I guess I got what I paid for, horrible service. Now the guy above said it is showing surface rust? totally sucks.

They will all show surface rust, its actually the brake dust that oxidizes on the stud, it wipes off.

Good to know its just rust from the rotors and shifteck refunded $3 for not shipping the threadlock and said to get it at home depot, but it cost me $7 at home depot...smh

Looks like the issues continue, went to mount the studs finally yesterday after waiting a month for them to send the loctite that never made it, now i am missing one stud, so if you order make sure you check the bag.

Also stripped one of the heads and its $8 for a replacement shipped

One week of emailing back and forth so far and no resolution
