Lugs Driving Me Nuts

ahudsonMember

Argh. Decided to replace my sort of crusty original nuts (make your own joke!) while having some other work done.

The original lugs on my car are:

Chrome, acorn, 12mm x 1.5, about 1.25" tall by - and here's the kicker - 7.8". (My 7/8 wrench fits them fine, but I'll assume it's metric, like 23mm?)

Anyway, I can't find these ANYWHERE. Scoured the internet. Any sources you guys recommend?

I can get 13/16" all day long, but then my tool kit wrench doesn't fit and all that. Help.

These are the ones I ordered for my car, but I see they are 13/16 as you have already found.

Thanks Garth. Basically, that's the biggest I can find, and few vendors have said that's the largest I WILL find. Not a big deal, but the originality bug always bites me.

I purchased a set of reproduction logo lug nuts from Hall years ago. Not correct for my 72 pre-L , but I like them.

Believe it or not some people worry about originality when they have Vette seats in their car !

I now have my perfect but 'unoriginal' lug nuts and can't even see them while sitting in my Vette seats.

Man, it really is incredible how much difference these lugs make. I got the 13/16 acorn bulge from Summit. Kept my old ones of course. Maybe I'll work up the courage to get them chromed one day, but I'm happy... for now.

I was looking at lug nuts today. Mine are 1.2 inches tall, everyone only has 1.4 inches tall. 12m 1.50 are them. Just dont see any that are 1.2 tall. ideas?

After market is ok with me. I think I will try the 1.4 and see how they look. I can always return them if I dont like the look. The plus side is they are cheap like 30 bucks for the set.
