Got a set on my type 3 and they came with lug nuts that have dome washers but they don't sit right. Where can I buy correct chrome lug nuts?

These are what you want... they have a ball seat.

A friend gave me what I think is an original VW bolt. It's thread length measures 38.5mm long.
From Mike's link above, this is what they say is the right bolt:
http://www.ezaccessory.com/Lug_Bolt_14x1_50_Ball_Seat_35mm_Shank_p/990.htm
Except that the thread length is 3.5mm shorter.

Or, you could get these ones that are 40mm long and check to see if the extra length will cause a problem.

Either way, these two bolts have 17mm hex heads where the originals are 19mm.

40mmc will hit the springs inside the brake drum.

17mm head are watercooled and have the wrong seat.

ISP West sells them but are out of stock.
