Okay....no more stories....I KNOW it's April 1st!

How about this:  I've gone up to 7/16 studs and need to buy lug nuts now.  I 
have Minotor alloys for the race tires and steel Rostyles for the street/rain 
tires, so need two sets of nuts.  I used to to use two different types of 
nuts when changing wheels because of the difference in required taper. The 
nuts for the alloys have less angle to compensate for the thickness of the 
wheel center, I guess.  

 So:  what do I ask for at the candy store when I go in for the bigger 
lugnuts?  

I remember someone saying to look for a blister pack of Dorman "mag" nuts, 
but I have yet to find them.
