    Posted: Jan/11/2012 at 5:00pm
I seem to remember reading that someone here found suitable replacement lug nuts for the 14x7 Turbocast II wheels. I'm looking for a set of 20, they don't have to be factory correct but they do need to be the proper shank style nuts. I tried the search feature with no luck, so thanks for any help!

They are reproduced. Contact Chad Quella, phone 804-244-0114 (Eastern time zone!) or e-mail (best) ramblerman@bowlingtech.com. $7 each or $130 a set of 20, not sure if postage is included or not.

Good to know but I just need something inexpensive that works. Even if they're a little different in appearance.

I have a friend who has a 1982 Corvette Collector Edition. The wheels for that series uses the same lug nuts as the Turbo Cast II wheels. I was very surprised. This may be another source for you. I don't know which other years may have also used them.

The Corvette rim of that era did use the same design as the Turbocast unfortunately Chevy used 7/16" wheel studs and AMC is 1/2".  Having been around the tire/wheel business I have always kept an open eye for any of the bigger lug nut makers (ie McGard, Gorilla) who were making anything similar and would work but don't know of any. I don't think I would be in a big hurry to spend $150 on a set of lug nuts but if you want to use them bad enough you may not have an inexpensive option.

If you have one, go to a good local parts store where they will take the time to look in their books. Our local Carquest has ways of finding almost anything.

Located usually near Rochester, NY and sometimes central FL.

I finally did purchase a set of the new Turbocast II lugs from Chad Quella (spiritgtman on eBay) for $145 with shipping. I'm really not that cheap but since I plan to sell the car in the spring I was hoping to find something less expensive. But for the money I am very pleased with the quality of the lugs as well as Chad's packaging and fast shipping. A highly recommended product for anyone needing these unique lug nuts. Here are some not so great pics of the Concord's new shoes, I will post some better ones after I pull it back outside.

That's a darn good looking Concord wagon! I suppose you'll be listing it in the classifieds here? I'm not interested in another car myself, but will know where to send people!
