[Spridgets] Alloy lug bolts?

[Rick Fisk]

I could use some open ended lug nuts.  Used to be a guy on ebay called "zenbutcher" that sold them, but he hasn't listed anything for a couple of years.

Far right is .620" in diameter and .540" in length.  One washer is flat and the other has a tapered face.   Size matters and you need to get the right size lug nuts for your wheels.
