tech info

They are a 14mm lug bolt for an Aluminum mag wheel manufactured by American Racing in the late '60's called a "Lemans" it is 15"x6" and is a four spoke that ways about 14lbs. The lug bolt(or "stud" if you will) is 14mm at the thread with a smooth shaft or "shank" that is about 16mm and 3/8" or 1/2" long depending on if you count the washer which is is non-removable, but not welded. the length is about 1.75.
I hope this helps. NO ONE HAS THEM>
There is one company who claims to have "new" ones, but they want $15.00 a bolt...too much for me $240.00 for 16 bolts?! and that'ts before tax and shipping!

American Racing does not have them either.
They are just a hair smaller than the EPMI mag shank lug nuts which seem to be the new standard size these days.
Alternatively I have considered using thread in studs (lock-tite in place) and simply having the holes on the mags bored out to this "standard" size.
MUCH cheaper, but not my first choice.
