Can't find lug bolts - American Racing specific, searched high and low, AR not responding Options

[Chris Pincetich]

I've waited a week for the emails I've sent to American Racing folks to be answered and have lost patience. I have googled looking for these and no luck in the first 2 pages. I even brought the lug bolts I need to GAF and found none, but got some encouragement and advice.

I REALLY NEED to get my hands on either a full set or 4 lug bolts for my American Racing wheels. One of these lugs that are on there are pictured below. I want to get some McGard bolts off and replace them with the correct type (4) or find new ones with fresh chrome (16) and replace them all. The bolt tightens with a 19mm socket. It has a "washer" fused to it that seat perfectly in a recessed circle on in the wheel. These are not ball seat or cone seat, but "flat" seat I guess. The McGard bolts have a spacer/adapter that is ball seat for the bolt then machined for a perfect fit in the recessed circle on the wheel (but they stick out because of this).

If anybody has these lying around, or knows of a source for special lug bolts, or a contact phone number for Amercian Racing (web site has email only) I would really appreciate info! My wheels are AR "daisy" style, I think that is what they are called, and I really like them. I would also really like to go to press in studs, but new lug bolts will get me through the next AX tech inspection and be easy on the wallet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
