vintec dish
i have a set of 20' billet specialties vintec dish whees and i'm trying to find lug nuts that set flush in the hole so the caps will go all the way on. I've tried just about every 14x1.5 open end lug nut out there. the truck is a 02 silverado. has anyone heard of this problem?

Re: vintec dish
i've tried most lug nuts that look like that. I have a couple of old ones i found that work but i don't know what brand they are. they are the same height as all the others but have more seat at the bottom so the lugnut sets lower in the wheel. I had regular vintecs and never had this problem.

Re: vintec dish
Have you contacted Billet Specialties and asked them what will work?

Re: vintec dish
Did local parts stores not carry the Acorn lug nuts? I would have figured they would have had something that would work.
