<< I have machined the centers in the wheels, now a new minor problem: Which lugnuts are people using to fit the wheel properly? The ones for the Vanagon steel wheels barely fit into the seat, the ones for the Vanagon alloys have the wrong taper, and the aftermarket ones I purchased also have the wrong angle. It would appear the seat is a rounded-taper like the Vanagon nut. Is the '98 Passat lugnut the answer, is it also 14mm x 1.5 ? Thanks!

Karl >> Karl Discount Tire has the lug nuts that you need. Call 1-800-483-7555, let them know you need the round taper type and the size. I had the same problem with my after market rims which were Ronal R 9's. Finally I got it taken care of. Hope everything goes well. Let me know what happens. See ya, Michael.
