I use some generic brand of lug nuts on my Syncro. They have the tapered seat that matches right up with the alloy wheel. Granted the seat does not extend up as high as the $13 factory bolt, but my wheels have not fallen off.....yet:-) They are just standard 14mm x 1.5mm lug nuts, I paid $4.95 for 5 of them. This may help you if you don't mind life on the edge:-) I'll let the archives know if I ever lose a wheel......if I live through it at least. HTH. Cory '86 Syncro Westfalia |
