Torque Thrust Mag? and Picture

Here is a picture of the American Racing Torque Thrusts that I have. As you probably know already, I am trying to find duplex lugnuts to fit them. 14mm X 1.50 They are the kind with washers. Thanks for any help. Pete

Thanks Aaron, those are the ones. Now back to the original question. How do I keep these wheels on my car? I was PM,ed a possible solution to the lugnut problem and have talked to Jeg,s about this. I need to call them back with some measurements. In the meantime, if anyone has these on their car now, please let me know were you got you lugnuts. Thanks, Pete

I used a Gorilla locking lug set that was 1/8 too long and had 12x1.5mm thrd.. I trimmed and re-tapped them. What size is your lug hole ? Alot of these wheels have been opened up to use the more readily available .740 dia. Factory is .69-.70
