Shane?
Are they like the wheels on my '77? (go look at them at
http://www.jacksonville.net/~suchak/toys.htm
If they are, I got the lug nuts at my local mag wheel shop, they're
pretty much standard short shank lug nuts. The washers are standard
items as well, seperate from the nuts. I expected it to be a bunch more
complicated than it was, but I just took the rim and a regular lug nut
to the store and they took it from there.
Hope it's as simple for you.

(ps.. let me know if they *are* like mine, I have no idea of who made
mine and would be curious to know the manufacturer...)
