<< I have machined the centers in the wheels, now a new minor problem: Which
 lugnuts are people using to fit the wheel properly? The ones for the Vanagon
 steel wheels barely fit into the seat, the ones for the Vanagon alloys have
 the wrong taper, and the aftermarket ones I purchased also have the wrong
 angle. It would appear the seat is a rounded-taper like the Vanagon nut. Is
 the '98 Passat lugnut the answer, is it also 14mm x 1.5 ? Thanks!

you can also use Audi 5000 lugbolts. any year audi 5000...can prolly pick up a
set of  10 from your local junkyard for under 5 bucks.
