I just bought some Amer Rac Torq Thrust wheels, VN 309 series. They call for 60* conical lugnuts, but seem like they could use an extended shank for mounting ? I just have the standard 1/2×20 studs. What is everyone using ? Thanks for the input...

I just mounted the exact same wheels 2 months ago and used these. They also come in LH thread. I also ditched the hex head center cap screws for #2 stainless phillips. Much easier to r & r.

Make sure you get those 3/4 hex and not 13/16... it's tight in there..

Blue Loctite the threads on the center cap screws if you want to prevent one from falling off. Ask me how I know.

I see you have disk on the front.
I'm liking the look, but I might be bias (no tires intended)
Towel City recaps. Hoping I get time to put some miles on them soon...

"The" wheel. Back in the mid 60's I wanted to buy a set of these wheels. I didn’t know how specify backspace and couldn't afford $50 a wheel.

Did a quick run to check out the balance up front, and re-torque the lugs...

^^^ Looks great.
That's a really sharp looking ride...
The small Allen screw with a conical head....yep, I lost one in short order also. Ordered a pack of 5 spares last year.

@VANDAN - if you want a lug nut for a tighter space - these are what came with my wheels....
