I have Z-car rims on my 'B and soon found the problem with the lug nuts.
The Z nuts have a chamfered bit that locates inside the hole, but
because of the different thread, I couldn't use the nuts of the Z
wheels. I got around it by machining standard 'B nuts to have the same
chamfer - they have worked well for over a year now.
