    IMG_4044.JPG IMG_4045.JPG IMG_4046.JPG I have a set of M/T slot wheels for my '62 Bel Air. Came with 18 lug nuts. Also, one has some threads stuck in it. So I need 2 or 3 of these. I know new ones are cheap, but I like these old kinda kinda beat up ones. They match the wheels and cars not perfect look. Anyone know what brand these are, or better yet, have 2 or 3? Thanks for any info!

    7/16-20, takes 7/8 socket.

    Those are cool. I've never seen any like that before. I hope you find some replacements.

    I found 4 from a guy online. They're original Mickey Thompson lug nuts, according to him. He wants $35 each. Too expensive for me, but where else can I find them, huh? I'll keep looking for now. I may just run the ones I have and buy 4 wheel locks.

    I thought so too. That's why I posted this here, hoping the magic of the HAMB would help me out!
     
  7. I'm selling 4 aluminum slotted wheels and tires for $150 and that includes lug nuts! That's around $37 each, and that guy wants $35 for a single lug nut?
    Ridiculous...

    Not trying to sell you my wheels btw...

  8. Never saw any like that before, but if I had four I'd probably give 'em to ya. Yeah, I know, easy to say, but that is ridiculous. Like the $900 Isky medium t-shirt I saw on eBay awhile back...noticed it yesterday at $450 I believe it was. T seller is bat-shit crazy hoping for a more bat-shit crazy buyer.

    Good lock on finding some.

  11. By the way, if any HAMBr's need anything I have (for personal use) they're free plus shipping. No flippers.

    Maybe use 16 and get a set of lock/security nuts for the other 4?

  15. Maybe get 5 with shank that match, from CHoffman, and use them on one wheel, until you can find exact match.
    I'll take a look in my meager collection, this evening, to see if there is anything there.

    I have had lug nuts like those. There may be some around if I recall correctly. Now which bucket of bolts they are in or which shed, I have no idea! Sorry.

    Put them on the drivers side and something else on the other side..... can’t see both sides at the same time anyway ;)

    Algoma56, thank you for checking!
     
  22. jimmy six - right on. Back in the early 60's I had Dodge Lancer spinners on one side and Olds Fiestas on the other side of my '56 Chevy.. No-one noticed and it didn't start a trend.
