Where to get lug nuts for Torq Thrust
Hi,
I just got a new set of Torq Thrust "D" Wheels.
The holes for the bolts have 0.626 diameter and the aluminum is ~0,6" thick there.
So I bought this lug nuts from ebay here:
https://www.ebay.de/itm/302687584004
The seller asked me if I really had an old set of TTs from the 70´s, which I denied
and he asked for the hole dimensions. Communication with him seems not so easy
because he asks things I have answered already 3 times.
Well, he has the opinion that these are not the right nuts for my wheels.
Now I would like to know I anybody can tell me if these are the right nuts.
Or where I can order the right ones (must ship to Germany).
After all the conversation I`m close before making my own nuts on my lathe.
But this would take me some hours and I still would not have a usefull surface coating.
I could also make them of brass instead of steel, so no rust issues. Bad idea?

Newer wheels are probably going to use 60* conical seat lug nuts, the ones in the link you posted are shank style for older wheels. Look at your wheels and determine whether they have a conical seat or a straight through-hole. Lugnut King should have whatever you need, I ordered lug nuts from him a couple months ago.

TTs
Thank you.
The TTs do have a conical seat, but it´s so small, I doubt this would be usefull.
I know other rims where the conical seat is 0.25" wide, but here it´s only half of that.
But I think that´s the intended use of them. Then I can use the normal nuts that are available everywhere.
