TSW Wheels

Hi
I have bought a set of TSW Heat alloy wheels from Halfords for my Indy/Blade. I am not happy with the studs due to the increased thickness of the alloy over the Sierra steel wheels the studs don't seem long enough, any comments, have you changed them for longer ones? If so where did you get replacements from?
Thanks
Barry

Wheels should come with new wheel bolts to suit, supplied by TSW as alloy wheels often have a different bolt seating to steels. Recommended minimum is 6 complete turns of the bolt.

Correct. Steel wheels tend to have a spherical seating arrangement, while most alloys have a conical seat.
