Just got a great item delivered via eBay, 261885159535

For only £18 great vfm and a very decent quality, apparently they were sold for £45 originally but are now discontinued. Good non slip studs too :thumbsup:

Also, i cant be the only one who struggles locating a wheel on the hub, heavy wheels, awkward lifting etc. So spotted one of these and thought I'd give it a try. Not cheap at £6.99 but will screw into the hub to position the wheel and be easily removed when a couple of bolts are in place. It has a handy allen key slot in the end too. The nut is surplus but i think its probably worth it. Its eBay again tho, 323481953860 :)

I have something similar that came in a pack of 2 but they don't have a thread running the full length which means the wheel can slide along it without damaging it.

Didnt think i'd be alone with the stud arrangement and dont think ill stress over the full threading. For as often as a wheel may be slid over it it would barely scratch the paint i imagine. Cars with studs over bolts seem to fare OK too. :)
