<p>normal beveled seat lug nuts.<br>
A couple years back they still had steel inserts. The last two sets I bough did not.<br>
In either case I use Mcgaard lug nuts. The taperd seats are captive on the nut but rotate<br>
as you tighten the nut. So the seat does not grind into the aluminum<br>
check summit racing...even Pep Boys carries mcgaard lugs</p>
<p>...not the exact units... but the pic clearly shows the two piece design<br>

<p>Personally I've been stuck on the Rota RBs<br>
<a href="https://18racing.com/collections/rb">https://18racing.com/collections/rb
</a>also goes by wheelboy(?) on eBay</p>
<p>I currently have them on my 2014 Mini, My '73 BGT and both Spits (15's on the Triumphs and MGs 17" on the Mini) had 'em on both Miatas as well</p>
<p>VERY strong and MUCH cheaper and MUCG lighter than Panasports! Sizes and PCDs to fit nearly all Triumphs!<br>
(yes even the diminutive Spit 3.75")</p>

<pre>David by the time the TR250’s came around a 4 spoke American Racing</pre>

<pre>Hi David,</pre>
<pre> </pre>
<pre>All good questions. The only objective answers are weight and more of an</pre>
<pre>authentic vintage look with the GC360 Silverstone replicas. These will</pre>
<pre>be going on my 1968 TR250. The Panasports weigh 18 lbs and the GC360</pre>
<pre>Silverstone IIs weigh 15 lbs. The Panasports are more of a Minilite look</pre>
<pre>while the GC360's are close to exact replicas of the original American</pre>
<pre>Racing Mags available at the time. The only difference I can see is that</pre>
<pre>they're aluminum and not magnesium and they're 6" wide versus 5" for the</pre>
<pre>ARE. Still undecided but the authenticity of the look is important to</pre>
<pre>me. Thanks for your input.</pre>
<pre> </pre>
