Agree to disagree, but I'd rather have the studs that are holding on my wheels be pressed into a steel hub, not some cheapo aluminum jobby.

I know that many people, yourself included, have never had problems with them. There are also those that have. In my opinion, such a "mission-critical" part shouldn't be cheaped-out on. Cheap-out on an exhaust or intake, but not on what is keeping you from ending up flipped over in a ditch.

Thanks for the responses, folks. I think I'll have to pass, even though they're a great deal. I'll probably wait to get the right wheels.
Wise choice. Remember what your parents said, "do it right the first time or don't do it at all..."
