Re: SS wheel lug nuts
Albert, back in 2003 I ordered a set of these from this place. Hope this is what you are looking for.

Re: SS wheel lug nuts
In-line tube makes a 1pc. solid chrome,(not a capped stainless steel),acorn lug nut that is wider and meets the lower seat width overall of Dons example.It's great for enlarged holed wheels.It has a slightly different profile,meaning no nipple in the top center,compared to the GM 2nd design lug nut.But it does have a shorted hex & a taller crown,like the originals did.Just too exaggerated.
They sell a set of 20 for like $45 shipped on ebay. ...in-line tube solid 1pc.chrome lug on the right. |

re; other suggestion. I had the same oversized hole problem on my SS wheels, If you do not mind the chrome lug nuts work great, they have more surface area. I used a set from Summit on my son's wheels. I made the pictured washers from grade 8 3/8" washers in a arbor press with a long drift punch and a socket. Ran them for years and they hold the wheel torque without distorting. Hard to even see when installed. |

Re: SS wheel lug nuts
Here is another alternative. I have been using these for a couple years now with great success.
