Lug nuts for custom wheels question
I bought a set of 4 aluminum slots (15" 5 lug for 71 & up 1/2 tons) from a person on this sight and they do not have lug nuts or center caps with them.
I was wondering if anyone has ever had to find something like this and if so is there a place to go for em. One more thing. I have looked and cant find any real identifying casting marks on the wheels so not sure what brand they are??? Any help is greatly appreciated! Tim |

If those are the old ones, from the 70's and early 80's, you'll need shanked lug nuts and washers.

Re: Lug nuts for custom wheels question
These shanked lig nuts are commonly refered to as mag-style.The shanks vary in length so ne careful to not get too long of a shank.I`d recommend not mail ordering them.We have Prp Boyd around here,do you?Bing!(sound of my memory working as I type)...I just remembered I recently bought some at a Napa store packaged as Napa parts.A good tiere store will have them "and" I know mine want you to bring one in to measure from.If not possible,as in you don`t have one,they want to get one to check with then order the rest.It`s dangerous if the shank bottoms out before the nut torques into the wheel...think sheered studs.

Re: Lug nuts for custom wheels question
I don't want to hijack, but what about the center caps. I just got some slots and they have 3 small bolts that hold the center cap on. Where can I go to find center caps?

Re: Lug nuts for custom wheels question
I wound up calling the Gorilla people that I was referred to (see above) and they had me call a place in Oklahoma City called Massey's Accessory Shop 405-239-2010.
Mrs. massey was awesome and together figured out what I needed plus hooked me up with center caps to boot...... Call them they were really helpful. Tim |
