  View original topic: Lug nut/stud 2 piece or 1 for sprint stars???
johnnyrotten Sat Jan 05, 2008 11:43 am

I just ordered a set of Flat-4 sprint stars for my Beetle (5 lug). The site I purchased them from (CIP1) recommended a set of lug bolts that are 1 piece but of course they are out of stock. My Ghia has a set of wide 5's that take a stud and nut. Other sites offer a 12mm and 14mm.

Could someone guide me to the correct mounting hardware for my 65 Beetle (12mm vs 14mm) and if I can use the 2 piece or only the 1 piece mounting hardware. I am also wanting a set to lock nuts as well.

Thanks in advance.

i believe your early car will use the 12mm hardware

This is what I thought, but the description states "BRM", so, I didn't know if they were for sprint stars as well. I will call them today to confirm and hopefully place my order.

Thanks,

John

CB has the correct lugs, but advertise them as BRM lugs. I called, they assured me that they will fit Sprint Stars, and I ordered them.

They shipped the 7th, my lugs from CB shipped the 8th. I probably won't be "rollin" anywhere until April. They weather is crap here in Ohio.

My beetle is anxiously awaiting their arrival!!!!
