I'm looking for a very rare lug nut for fastening a specific 90s/2000s rim. The rim is quite thick at its base where the lug nuts go, so the nuts have their 60 degree cone about 15mm from the leading edge (the one going towards the hub) and the nut goes partially into the rim, stopping only a few mm from the hub.
The diameter is 16.5mm on the part that goes inside the hole in the rim and 20.5mm on the part that you can see when it's mounted.
It has internal 12mm hex and M12x1.25 thread pitch. The total length is 38.5mm.
There's barely any clearance so any other ordinary lug nut will not go in, nor will a 19mm socket fit even if it did (unless the lug nut it 50mm long!)
It really needs the threaded part that goes into the rim, otherwise it will hang on only a few threads, and I don't want to lose a wheel while driving!
I'm having trouble locating spares as I am missing two nuts. I've been searching online and in physical stores and nobody have seen this nut before.
Note in the pictures that in addition to the 5 holes there are also 5 fake bolts made of plastic. I assume they are covering the holes of a different bolt pattern.
I got the rims on a 2000 Subaru Forester I bought a few years ago, they were on the car when I bought it. They're definitely aftermarket. Do you know what this type of nut is called or where to get them?
Or have you seen these rims before? I wonder who the manufacturer is...
I'm planning on restoring the wheels, but I won't do that unless I know I can get nuts for them.
So I'm a car nut going nuts looking for a nut, basically...
