The guy didn't have the lug nuts for the wheels but it looks like a regular acorn style chrome lug nut will work..

----I'm surprised. I had Spyders on the rear of Red Alert when we got it from Bob Hamilton and they were shank style......Bill S

[Mr. Chevy]

Bill, some other websites I have visited that were talking about these wheels stated you could use the shank style or the acorn due to the way the wheels are made...

Always liked their look.
A very rare wheel you just don't see enough of today.
Paul your Olds look good w/em. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

----Well, Rich, that makes life easy as a lot of Motor wheels had an odd size shank hole. I had to make sleeves up on RedA to take up the slack. A real pain!......Bill S

I used a acorn style nut for a better part of 10,000 miles and no problem. I have seen the shank style forsale as a generic chrome lug nut so they can be had.
Now the car looks like this.

That's what peaked my interest in them... You see Cragars, Torque Thrusts and Aluminum Slots every day plus they reproduce them... This wheel is just unique and cool...

I know where a set is located. Incredibly, they are on a beater 78 malibu 4 dr. I saw sitting in a driveway. I stopped and asked about them. The owner said they were not for sale. He let me take some pics. The lug nut is unique.

I have a set of 4 that I may put on my 56 210.
