I was able to get 3/8" lugnuts to use on my Spit (with what sounds like similar
wheels to what you have, Peter) from a company called - believe it or not - Mr.
Lugnut! They are located in Los Angeles, CA. I don't have their address, but
you can call them at (310) 324-1111 or (800) 950-AUTO. I used their part
number 5004 lugnuts on my Spit. This info is now a couple of years old, but
according to some local parts houses, they are still in business. Give them a
try.
