Doesn't matter which way you go, you will take the paint off them if you are using them.
Best one I have heard is to use pot belly black like they use on cast iron and fireplaces. Stronger than paint, and if it needs to be touched up, it is extremely easy and unnoticeable.

Over the years there have been studs that break for many reasons, heat treatment, wrong material, overstressed at some time, too loose etc etc. Bazzle I havnt broken any. Its just that I have always been told with my street cars, that the wheel needs to sit ...

I havn't broken any myself, its just im having trouble finding some wider rims to suit my bravo, which has a 93mm diameter hub, all rims i seem to find have 115 or something like that. Which means the wheel wont sit on the hub at all, and i dont want to do it if it is dangerous.

Breaking wheel studs??

Just wondering if anyone has heard of people breaking wheelstuds if the rim isnt seated on the hub, relying on the wheelstuds to take the weight.
