FYI, if later down the road you want to upgrade wheel studs to OEM studs or even ARP studs they will not work with the cheap wheel bearings, the knurl diameter is different. I bought a pair just a couple months ago thinking I would save money but the diameter of the holes on the cheap (made in China) wheel bearings was smaller. I had to return them and shelled out the cash for OEM wheel bearings from the dealership.
The cheap or OEM wheel bearing will come with wheel studs and will both work. But I'm saying that at any point if you feel like changing wheel studs to ARP then you will run into issues.

The ebay ones, will hold up for a while, but are very cheap. If you would like something that is OE, just go to your parts house. When you buy them offline they are hard to warranty out, compared to Advance Auto Parts where you take it off and trade it same day.

kind of a noob question but why would i want to chage the studs?

Because after 10 years of 45 lbs of torque on / off, material tends to fatigue, and you will eventually snap them. Good idea to do.

well i got an email confirming they will fit the gsx.

[rob1621]
