VW guys swear by them because they use thread in bolts instead of pressed in studs with lugs and it's a HUGE pain in the ass to get a wheel lined up if it isn't hubcentric, but if you can set the wheel on the studs it isn't so bad.

The Toybaru uses a conical seat, which is the best kind for alignment and torquing.
I've always disliked VW and other German cars (only the German cars it seems too...) that use bolts to mount the wheels to the hub. Just about every other car in the world uses studs on the wheel hub with nuts, making it easy and much quicker to change out with much less frustration and chance of messing up the threading in the wheel hub (because there is none!) Much easier to replace a damaged stud than fix/replace a damaged wheel hub because of messed up threading or seized bolt...
