Any place that sells custom wheels or even a parts store will have them. They are nothing special.

I just put a set of original empi raders on my 52. I took the lugs that are supplied in the Bug Pack kit 6540-20 and cut 3/16 off of the end and reshaped them. Worked perfectly.

hollow out the center of the rim a little and shorten the dust cap by shaving down the open end a little. it worked on mine.

i dont know about shaving the rim that might weaken it.
