Rich, thanks for the info and the source. Just remember that you'll
undoubtedly be a different thread than the OEM and keep that in mind if you
install wheels that use something other than the tapered seat OEM style lug
nuts.
You'd think that with all of the different diameters, threads and nut styles
there are used on after market wheels that some enterprising individual(s)
would develop a business sourcing the different lug bolts, nuts and washers.
At least for cars like ours that fall somewhere between the older GM. Ford
and Mopar rides that you could almost build from catalogs these days and
some of the really rare Euro stuff.
FWIW,
Ron
