If the lug nut hole is tapered they must require some special tapered
lugnuts. Maybe that's why they are selling them out on sale..I have a set of
tapered mag wheel lugs for 7/16 fine thread as on Sunbeam that I purchased
from a auto parts store in Ga that was going out of business..they were
from the 60's! New in the box..very rare but for what? Let me know the
taper and measurement at the outside of the wheel , inside of the wheel and
depth and I'll see if these would work before I purchase wheels without lugs
Thanks( PS: I think I have 2 sets of these lugs..let me check tomorrow in
the garage storage Herbeam
