All this stuff is done with CNC machinery now. As long as the studs are installed straight there should be no valid reason to have any problems. Put some anti seize on the tapered seat sleeve nuts to secure the adapters, it will prevent galling and allow for accurate torque reading while assembling and help keep the pins straight.
Ditto here. I used the Trigo 5 pins and never had a problem, ever. Now, I used their neat little "alignment tool" when I installed the adapters and lugs. I also applied liberal amounts of anti seize on the lugs, knock off threads and surface area. I saw some one who didn't once and it wasn't pretty. Trying to get the wheel off was kinda ugly. Just make sure you put the correct sides on the car (don't laugh it's been done too many times) and you should be fine. Yes, for originality six pins all the way. BUT, 90% of the people out there don't know what the difference is and or what a "knock off" actually is. I NEVER had any probs as described by Doug. I never had to index my wheels. It's a tight fit, yes, but it should be! I love Doug at ERA and he's the man but I really haven't ever heard any negative comments except the "offset" sometimes isn't as good? I got mine directly from Lynn Park years ago and he knew exactly what I needed and it was perfect! Save your money!! My former ( ) ERA FIA was in the for sale section here last week, the red one. Check it out, the wheels fit perfectly! Regards, Matt
