Chevelle ss wheel lug nuts

[ssl78]

I would like to see what a original lug nut taper looks like. Here is what happens when you use the cheap ones. Even on a perfect rim the taper is to small fot the taper in the rim.

Yep, that's pretty much what my wheel looks like too. I had the repro lug nuts on for over a year with no issues.....then I had a posi differential installed and took the car out to make sure the new posi was working as it should [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img] Soon afterwards is when the rear wheels loosened up and almost fell off.

I did a search on this site for &quot;lug nuts&quot; and found several different threads over the past year or two with some options for more functional lug nuts, but I have not been able to find anything but these worthless repros that has a stainless cap like the originals. And finding NOS or good usable originals is next to impossible.

Tech Tip Done by Me and Rick Nelson in my Chevelle Club &gt;&gt;&gt; Over sized Lug Nut hole on your SS Rims?
This is a good way to save your original SS rims if they have over sized holes from being stripped over the years. Don't get rid of them just get a set of &quot;Lug Seats&quot; http://www.oldschoolplating.com/lug-seats-2/
