        It can't be a bolt.  I think you mean a nut which screws up against
the wheel.  A knock off hub has two wings projecting out from the central
nut, and the later hubs have a hexagonal nut about two inches across, which
requires a one-purpose wrench which has a hexagonal opening in it to fit.
You should have had one included with the car, if this is the system of
wire wheel fastening you have.Paul Nelson
