LUG BOLTS for "volksmag 2" mag wheels by superior industries, van nuys CA. (can probably use lugbolts for MANY other specialty or 'sport' mag wheels). need sixteen lugolts total, 14mm x 1.5, with .620 inch diameter straight shoulder below heads. upper boltheads should be flat bottomed (not 'cone' or ball-shaped' seat type).

These dimensions yield an overall lugbolt length of 1 & 1/16 inch, EXcluding the head and any flat washer or flat washer 'space' below head - chrome can be in ANY condition whatsoever, from great to horrible....can also use any 14 x 1.5 threaded lugbolts 'seeming to fit' some or most dimensional needs above, IF they can be lathe turned to better meet my needs. they need to have the correct metric threads, however...
