Hey,
I've recently purchased myself a set of turtlebacks, but do not have a set of the og lug bolts. Im currently in the process of trying to get some, but its slowly looking like that wont be happening. Just wondering what hardware people are running with their turtlebacks if you dont have the original bolts??

Cheers,
Brad

At least with the set I had the pleasure of dealing with, the 8 spoke style lug and stud kit wouldnt fit in the Turtleback holes. The holes in the wheels were about 1/32" too small. We were able to have a machine shop open the holes slightly.
We then just nipped the end of the lug nuts on a belt sander to make sure they didnt protrude thru the wheel.
We were also missing centercaps and found early horn buttons fit perfectly
