I'd like to know where he gets his lug nuts from. It's VERY hard to find the shallow shank of the right diameter for the hole in the wheel.

E-mail him Verne. Terry included the correct lug nuts with the set of TTs that I bought from him. No more double-washers, etc.

I wish I known thay you could get the correct lugs. I bought a set of lugs and then had them machined to get them to work correctly.

Here is my set of Drag Mags that I just got back from the polisher. A good polisher can restore almost anything.
