Not clear what "other" ones your reffering to but automotive wheel studs ar grade 8

buy the plated ones, soak them in LRC for a day rinse them off and blue them with touch up blue available at most gun shops.

the blak oxide finish usuall rubs of after the first time you screw on the bolt, then it begins to rust. In that case you can also touch it up with gun blue.

Mike C, and Mike 16,

Thanks for the information. The original GM wheel studs from the 70s vehicles, have worked well for me.

thanks,
