Single Lug Hubs
Can anyone tell me if someone makes a single lug hub (Like the C5R) for the C5. You know, with one nut to hold the wheels on .
I know the wheels will be harder to find and more costly but they look great and are lighter.

I will put together some prices for you guys. What tire/wheel combos would you be interested in? Wheel centers are 100% custom parts, so anything can be made.
The threads on the hub adapters are threaded left and right hand, so they tighten themselves under braking and accelration. Tighten once, and they are good to go.

Unfortunately, we can only go with Fikse, BBS, Kinesis, and any other manufacturer that is willing to make us a custom center of your choice. The BBS rims I have pictured in my above post are 18x10/18x12.
Any 16/17/18 sizes for sure, 19s I can check on.
Fikse can make us our desired centers, as well as kinesis. HRE I do not know as of yet.
Lugs are torqued to 250

The Novitec NF-1's would be my first choice. The Fikse Profil 5s would probably be my first choice if you can’t get the Novitec’s.
Can you just sell the center lug steering knuckle/hub without the wheels?
Also can you get a locking nut that goes over the lug nut like the Enzo or Carerra GT?
Here's a picture of what I am talking about.
This would look better on the street than the red safety spring pictured.

Nothing yet. Some are still getting back to me.
I am not sure about a locking nut, but I can probably integrate that into the design should we decide to do that.
I can however provide a locking pin or clip like we previously used in the Trans Am days.
I should have some hard data and info by Tuesday at the latest!
