i ordered a set of blackwatch racing wheel stud kit for my elise and have had them for a while, haven't had much time to install them, also pretty lazy to jack the car up and leave it on jackstands, so this is my "easier" way to install them
i barely drive the car, it can sit for 4-5 days straight and doesn't bother me
i make sure the oem wheel bolts are torqued down to 80 ft/lb's, and i take 1 wheel bolt off, then i put the supplied red loc-tite onto the thread and tighten down the wheel stud with a 3/8" allen head (instructions say 5mm but that's too small) to 20 ft/lb's (instructions say 16 ft/lb, i figured 4 more wouldn't hurt)
i leave the car over night to let the loc-tite dry, and i tighten down the wheel nut to 80 ft/lb's. and repeat the whole thing over again
sure it takes 4 days and 4 nights, but my car doesn't move and i really don't feel like pulling my jack and jackstands out to lift the car, must be winter laziness
