They are specific nuts and washers.

Look at the nuts Toyota truck alloy wheels use,  you will need the metric studs to match,  but they might be close to what your looking for. The lower shield on the nut should fit pretty snug.

Don't forget the Never Sieze.

This is what I use on my western wheels.

Same here, or at least really similar. I recently bought some at O'Reilly Auto Parts.

Does anyone know a supplier for the "oblong" washers used on the uni-lugs?

You need a shouldered lug nut roughly .003-.007 smaller in diameter than the stud hole with an offset washer.  You probably want at least a 1/2" deep shaft.  This is just a generic search but its kinda what you need to look for.

Thanks for this. Yes, it's the offset washers I need. I've taken my old ones to a couple of auto parts stores and tire shops and they were lost...

There's no such thing as an auto parts store anymore.

Just glorified license plate frame shops that sell oil filters and air fresheners.

Thanks Hoofy did you just screw studs into the nuts?

The one in the picture was just a quick repair for a damaged wheel stud.

Do you know what length wheel stud your running? I know it's all proportional to the wheel, just getting an idea

Depends on the inside depth of the acorn nut. My studs protrude 1/2 inch beyond the face of the wheel.

I have the same rims. Take them to classic wheel in glendora, ask for Kyle 626-914-7725. He will welding the holes and re-drill them to work with an acorn lug nut. He will polish them too. Nice guy

Check these wheels out I can get these brand-new for $450 bucks any one you like

I got the wheels back from classic wheel. They filled and drilled the wheels, thanks for the recommendation! Now the next problem. The only screw in studs I can find at 2" long overall. I don't Think they will work because the wall of these rims is too thick and I can't seem to find longer ones.

How hard is it to drill the hubs to use a press in stud. Anyone done it?

Thanks GT. It's a 1/4" screw in. I'm going to look at the dimensions in a little more detail now but would a quarter inch press into work? Or should I go a size up.
