I HAVE FOUND A SOURCE FOR THESE HARD TO FIND ITEMS. They will be made initially in 2 sizes for us, 1/2-20 and 12x1.5, the lugs will be made of 304 stainless, can be nickel plated or plain. we have been working with a particular wheel manufacturer to bring these to market and we are close. Samples are coming in for our evaluation on my 09 Z06 and a couple of other cars we have lying around our shop. I will attempt to post pics.https://www.pro-touring.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=111524&stc=1 https://www.pro-touring.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=111525&stc=1

I just finally bought a set of open end gorilla aluminium lugs but I'd still be interested in a set of these. Any idea on projected pricing?

I believe we will be able to sell them for about 130.00 per set of 20

There seems to be little to no interest in these lugs, if so we will move on, if there is an interest please speak up so we can assess the situation.

Probably worth posting over at camaros.net - might be more guys over there looking to replicate the T/A style lugs. Those lugs have certainly been discussed over there before.

We are waiting on the sample pieces to arrive so we can test fit them and we will forward some to VWW for their appraisal as well. As soon as this is completed and any needed changes are made we will be getting these in and shipping asap to those that want 'em.

I think if you tell the right shops that are helping guys build them there is a market. I'm interested once I finish mine for sure. These lugs can change the look of vintage wheels. I hope to see them become available

thanks for the tip, I have been looking for several years before running this to ground, at least this far. I want to see this option made available quite badly myself.

Sample lugs have arrived, they look exactly as specified and are nickel plated, not polished, they have an industrial look to them, we will need orders for 120 sets to make this a go, 2 sizes available, 1/2-20 and 12mmx1.5 thread. Otherwise they look identical, sets shipped once orders placed. the time should be approximately 30 days to have them in hand. Remember these are made to order, so it will take some time. a full set of 20 will sell for 120.00 per set, this includes shipping within the lower 48.
