I bought some of these rims from a place here in the US. While tightening down one of the studs twisted off. I noticed that instead of the stud fitting into a square hole it's just round. Doesn't seem to be Avery good design. Anyone had a similar problem? Any suggestions on how to fix?
Thanks

Send them back, not fit for purpose.

I had this happen to one of these that had seen some use. I used a replacement stud from Scooter Restorations held in place with epoxy weld (Most dealers sell both types of replacement stud). However if your rims are new do as above and send them back

Thanks for the input. That was my original thought. So that's what I will do.

Which one will help them improve their product?

See where your coming from there but I know which one got me straight back on the road. (Also keeps the replacement stud manufacturers in business

)
