[Fot] Followup to TR7 wheel stud question

[WILLIAM TOBIN]

Hi, you might try JEGS 800 345-4545, or any of the other Hi Perf places.
JEGS has ARP and MOROSO lugs in various sizes. $3or so each.

A related question: what are you guys using for lug nuts? I have Panasports
and use their acorn (closed end) nut. I'm going to longer studs and need
open lug nuts. (No smart answers!)

Thanks, Bill Tobin  Erie, PA (The snow's melting)
