Kelsey loose lugs

Post by Russ T Fender » Thu Aug 22, 2019 7:26 pm

I have some Kelsey loose lugs that are unmarked and some identical Stone lugs marked 44 C. I understand that the Stone lugs are aftermarket. Does anyone know if these are correct for the Kelsey clincher rims on my '22 Centerdoor. The car is in Florida and I am heading down there next month so I am not sure if what I have will work. Thanks

Val, I collect loose lugs and flanged nuts, sandblast them, clean up threads, have them electro zinc plated and offer them for sale. I have found a number of different markings on the U shaped pieces, perhaps half a dozen or so. As long as they are physically the same, they will do the job. You need a lot to choose from if you want a matching set of 16!

Thanks Allan. I have 12 matching lugs that are on the car but one rim is a Hayes with fixed lugs. The spare is a Kelsey rim and I want to start using it in place of the Hayes so I just need 4 more matching lugs. Hopefully the ones I have will match. If not there's always Hershey! My problem is that I can't access the car to make sure I have what I need and I have become painfully aware of how many variations there are.
