I have no idea what these are called, if they are safe or even available anymore...They were on a set of 5 slots I took off a 73 charger. The wheels were obviously a uni-fit kind of deal so I imagine they were used on a lot of different cars....anybody got these or can tell me if they are safe? They certainly don't look sturdy, but I'm no wheel engineer....

Kind of look like Roto Lugs. Check Lug Nut King in So Cal he has everything. On WWW.
 
Most of the uni-lug wheels have an eccentric washer only, then a shouldered nut that goes through the washer and hole in the wheel. You might replace what you have with them.

Not sure what a "uni-lug" is, but ^^^that's^^^ pretty much what is on my Crager SS wheels.
No idea what is pictured in post #1, but I'd be leery to use them.
 
To the OP, buy new lug nuts. To the prior poster, unilug wheels are manufactured with holes to enable use on different bolt-pattern vehicles (ex. 4 1/2 for Mopar/Ford & 4 3/4 for GM) where you utilize an eccentric to match the pattern on your vehicle.
 
Wagonman nailed it, thank you!! These are roto lugs which apparently are no longer available in the form I currently have, but now in a better safer upgraded combo that will still let me use my old super cool Appliance 5 slots for that classic old school vibe!!
 
I remember my first set of uni lugs I was confused all to hell I was still very green my buddy got new wheels for his Nova and gave me his old 5 spokes . I didn't think they would fit I was wrong and didn't quite understand how till I got the vibration from hell out of them I learned quickly

Yup used the rotos on my slots, after indexing them put some RTV on them to hold in place. No vibration, Me likey..
