Chris,
The wheel nuts i was using on those rims were just your everyday long type nut
(12*1.25 i think) with the tapered end that u can get from repco, auto one etc
etc etc
I used these for nearly two years with no problems..... I bought a replacement
set of 4 a while back from Parra repco for like 10 bucks or something
Steve.
