3. Two distinct surfaces : it has a geometrified surface and a phosphate surface.

Depending on wheel models, wheel studs can have different aspects.Indeed, some are spiral profiles, others are distinguished by the external anti coating-corrosion while others can be equipped with anti-security mechanism-rotation directly placed on the head of the stud.
In addition, wheel studs have sizes that will vary depending on your wheels.
