Changing tires, like you'd do a lot at an autox, is a PITA since the wheel
easily falls to the ground instead of being held generally in place by the
studs. Plus its a bit harder to line up the wheel holes & the hub holes.
Having said that, the hubcentric wheels for our old e36 bmw (which uses
lug bolts in stock form) weren't too horrible... You lift the wheel up
into place and hold a bit of inward pressure on it so that it won't fall
off the hub lip, then rotate it around either way to get the holes to line
up.
Not as easy as studs though.
