Where can I find wheel bolts to convert?

I need to find some wheel bolts to convert my crappy nut lugs bolt things into regular lug and bolt combo. I need this for the rims I plan on getting because they require a 45 degree nut (diamond wheels). I tried that mazda motorsports thing like 5 weeks ago and they havent even bothered with me, so I guess I'm on my own. Thanks

So you want to go from lug bolts to lug nuts, right?

There was a thread about this last month. To save you the searching time which you would have typed: Rx-7 lug bolts and search the 1st gen article....

Here was my answer:

I bought mine at AIM Tire: American International Motorsports. Talk to Ron, tell him you want the:

RX-7 WHEEL STUD KITS
Description: Throw away the original 'lug bolts' used to hold the wheels on your first generation RX-7 and replace them with the easy to use RX-7 STUD KIT.

Kit includes 16 long studs and 16 open ended lug nuts.
$34.95 per kit
Fits 1979-1985 Mazda RX-7

Put some RED locktite on the threads and tighten with allen head wrench.

I'm glad to help...

Personally I hate seaching or Help sites because you have to know what it called before you can find what you are looking for.


Remember to buy some RED loctite, also I don't remember if they come with a hex head wrench (allen wrench ) to install them.
