    Unfortunately these will only be available in 16 as far as what I’m told. I’m having trouble getting in touch with the guy once again but will call again today.

    our 100 series have mag/shank with conical tips. as for these wheels, though, we need to make sure they're 60 degree angles or else get new lug nuts (which i would do anyway considering the mag/shank will look silly on the steel wheels). upon further research it looks like steel wheels are very...

    Official US Wheels 16x8 +25 5x150 Steel Wheel Group Buy Thread (EDIT: 16" not 17")

    What I understand is that if you’re using conical holes and lugs, the part of the wheel around the hub bears no weight so making the wheel hub centric isn’t necessarily an advantage. If however this is important enough that it would dissuade people from purchasing the wheels, I will have a talk...

    Yeah I’ve the ost couple days since e9999’s post I’ve been doing a lot of research. If the holes are conical and you’re using tapered lugs the hubcentricity does not come into effect at all. These wheels were not designed to be hub centric and as such the hub hole will be about 112.

    Exactly haha.

    OK... i got an answer. the wheels will be lug-centric, and the holes on the wheel are cut to 60 degrees. As such, a conical seat lug nut with a 60 degree taper will work as long as it's bigger than the diameter of the hole, obviously. Hope this clarifies!

    Just a quick update i posited the question to Bob this morning and he's pretty diligent about getting back to me. I offered to measure my hubs with a caliper if he needed to make the wheels hub-centric, or if the finished wheels would come with conical holes (and if so, what angle so we could...

    no no this is much welcome cold water. this is stuff i would like to know and i assume anyone buying aftermarket wheels should know. I will analyze this when i have some spare time and get this sorted.

    All great info which I will discuss with him. Thus far we were looking for a wheel that fits but once that happens we will discuss the above because it’s cleqely very important. I don’t know that the precision is there to machine these wheels perfectly hubcentric so it will likely be done via...

    The test wheel I received was too small by about 1-2mm. He’s machining another sample at +2mm and sending it to me. As for the lugs, the wheels are flat faced and direct bolt on. I will ask which lugs he recommends. Will post a photo today that will give better ideas.

    Tuesday update: he’s opening up the hub space by 2mm and sending another sample. Please stand by.

    See edit!!! I am sad to say the wheels will not fit without modification. They’re off by about 2mm in order to clear the hub centers. Pics to come and I will contact the manufacturer and see if there’s a way to modify the wheel, but I won’t get my hopes up. I’m sorry to those I let down...

    I promise once I get these wheel locks off I’ll be test fitting the wheel (likely Saturday morning).

    MURPHY'S LAW Wow. so i got the wheel (it's an unfinished wheel for test purposes only) and went to mock it up... the LX i bought had some cheesy chrome "FOOSE" crap wheels on it with cheap crappy wheel locks. Well i went to mock up one of the wheels and both the lock and the key BROKE. anyway...
