    2006 93 Aero

    Where to find new wheel studs for 93 Aero?

    I have a 2006 93 Aero and my wheel studs are very rusted and would like new ones. The size that I have found is 17 mm conical heads with 12 mm x 1.5 in threads. I would like to get swivel, black or black chrome studs but I have only been able to find solid studs and not in black.

    Does anyone know where I could buy new studs? If not anyone have any advice on what I could replace them with that look nice? Thanks.

    Something like these?

    Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/121934942726

    I converted my 9-3 to wheel studs and ditched the wheel bolts.

    I would like to avoid the tuner style and stick with normal bolt head. And if possible get the swivel bottom that the oem ones have.

    Why not just buy OEM ones, I think they are still available.

    Are you really looking for wheel studs or just something to fix the rusty lug nuts?

    Rusty nuts are standard equipment on Saabs. That's why there are OEM wheel lug nut caps available.

    I ordered BMW racing studs to convert my 9-3. They are M12 x 1.5 and 44mm long.
