Subject:FS: tapered lugnuts/bolts for Carat/Wolfsburg alloys
From:Ben T

Hello Folks,

Some weeks ago several Listees on both lists asked me to locate a source for
a less expensive aftermarket alternative to the factory alloy wheel lugnuts.
I found a supplier. Unfortunately, due to the low profit margin at these
prices, they prefer to sell in lots of 100. So here's the scoop. I paid for
the first 100. Considering Syncros take 20 and 2WD's take ten, it shouldn't
take too long to deplete the supply. Please pmail me if you are interested in
a set and want to see a pic. These are not the same but similar to the
factory lugnuts.

They sell for $2 each in sets of ten (10 x$2 = $20).  If you already
contacted me about this in the past, please remind me.

There are also six (6) sets of lugbolts suitable for 2wd front wheel
applications. They require a special wrench (one included for each set of ten
lugbolts) and do not have a hex head. They are not sure if they will have any
more of these. For the moment this is it. These are galvanized rather than
chrome plated like the lugnuts. I don't have the pricing on these yet. Pmail
me if interested.

I am passing this on to you at my cost plus shipping to your location. Local
pick-up is available in the SF Bay Area.

OK, back to sleep.
