I know I will have to replace the bearings. I want to anyways. I was thinking of replacing the studs also. Just wanted to see what people thought. I searched and couldn't find much about them. Said they are made frome steel. Not aluminum.

I seen that but the link wouldn't open up for the ebay link. Those are different but There is one guy who used what looks like to be the ones I am asking about and he was runnung them for 3 years before 2 accidents blew out the bearings. I will either run them or ichibas. I would like to get attain but that iwll be later.

Idk man I used ebay 5 lug swap for my 240 they seem a lil sloppy like the bearing is loose but have been running the 2 years with no problems. Was definitely considering quality wheel studs though. Saw that the company who makes these bearings also offer them w ARP studs.

I was planning on putting in arp studs and also swapping the bearings to oem. So I don't think I will have a big issue.

I would defiantly swap the bearings out. I have seen and heard of plenty of people having issues with bearings taking a shit or just flat out freezing.

I am going to switch the bearings to oem and use arp wheel studs so I think they will hold up just fine.

I have them but I don't feel like getting them machined for the ring.

so you have compatible hubs and you're not willing to use them, but instead are going to go with inferior aftermarket, made in china, hubs.
Good luck with that...
Go with the J30, if for no other reason than it'll be cheaper buy oem s13 bearings and have them machined than buying / shipping the ebay ones....

The hubs themselves are made of mild steel, CNC aluminum. Stick with the OEM forged steel ones.
