<< Dan, perhaps they simply aren't the correct Mini-lite lug nuts. I have a
set of genuine Mini-lites for a Spitfire, and although I've not done
anything with them in a long time, I do remember the lug nuts (original
to the wheels) did fit snugly enough to perform the self-centering.
The proper lug nuts should be available from someone in Indiana;
hopefully someone will help you out with the name and phone number that I
can't find at the moment

That's a good possibility, Andy, but these are the nuts that came with the
wheels. Of course, that is no guarantee that they are the correct ones. They
are only off just a little bit, and maybe "close enough is close enough," but
I would feel better with a tighter fit. Later today I will try to "mike" the
holes and nuts to provide a quanitative value. If someone could provide me
with the name and phone number you mentioned, I would give them a try.
