I'm trying to locate the conical style nuts that hold on the rim blow and tuff wheels. What size thread are the three bolts that hold attach a rimblow or tuff wheel? The only place I've found online that sells the nuts for this application is Classic Industries and they want $1.99 a nut and they want $7 shipping...

They've got balls asking that price for nuts.


I’m listening.

I got some at Ace hardware. They were rounded open top nuts. I them turned upside down and they worked just like the originals. They came with the nylon lock stuff in them so they never loosened up. I just took the collar with me and tested until I found the right size.

hmmmm that's an idea. I don't know if a nylock nut has enough steel thread or is hardened enough to withstand the jolt of a collision. Probably fine. I have seen all-steel locking nuts that have a somewhat conical end. those might work okay.

Vlad, I didn't even think about those nuts until the other day. You are the parts king. I received the rubber button from Rimblow Restorations. Great looking piece. Also got the little beauty ring from Dales Cuda Shop. Fits perfectly, and looks good once installed. All I need now is the base and the nuts!
