(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1315.photobucket.com-15718-1406822967.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1315.photobucket.com-15718-1406822968.2.jpg) rubber NT05 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1315.photobucket.com-15718-1406822968.3.jpeg) The only info I could find was a picture of one on scale at 9 lbs and a vintage add for CS wheels. Thanks for any info. |

Very Nice!
Great Score. I have no specific info or experience with these but definitely not the factory lug bolts. Lug seats are flat. I went through the whole lug nut thing with our Boxster when I bought aftermarket wheels... Ball Seat, Conical and then what size, etc.... |

I bought a set new in the '80s for my 240Z. They're long gone but I recall they were under $100 each and certainly not 9#. FYI, 9# is world class light. These would more likely be in the 16# range.
I believe they had a polished lip with a clear coat and mine were painted gold on the spokes. They are a Minilite copy. Some other company made them for the CS brand. I don't really think they're worth much but having the center caps helps. Most would be long - long gone... Mine had an acorn like nut with an integral washer and a shaft that centered the nut in the lug hole. Hope they meet your needs! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have a set of old American Racing 200S. And they have the same type lug nut. Washer and a collar that goes into the wheel. Not my wheels, but here's a pic. Anyway, since a few wheels used that style lug nut hopefully you can find some. Thanks for sparking my memory ConeDoger.  |

I love the style and for us narrow body guys 15x7 is a magic number. Need to get them cleaned and decided if I want to repaint. Love the gold :-) and kinda cool to have unique set wheels. |
