Hi,

I have just received some very nice Appliance cross laced alloys from
another lister. I need to find lugs for these wheels.
The lugs are quite unique but I am sure they are out there somewhere. I
have already found 7 lugs so far.

The wheels were made in 1974. They require a shouldered Appliance lug
nut (washer built into lug itself I think). The shank diameter has to be
between 1/2" and 9/16" and shaft length about 1/2" also (very small).
Regular mag nuts will not work (too fat) and the Roto-Lug kits
#5904/5950 that were made for later Appliance Alloys are too fat also.
The bolt hole diameter in the wheel is just over 1/2" (smaller than 9/16
though) and the bolt hole depth on the wheel is right at 1/2".
If anyone has any leads as to where I might find these I would
appreciate it!

THANKS AGAIN,
