Default Hurst wheels lug nuts

I'm restoring a 65' GTO for a guy and it has Hurst Wheels that were bought and installed the day he brought the car home. Unfortunately, I'm missing one of the lug nuts and need to pick one up. Our host only shows them in sets (expensive) Does anyone know a place where I could pick just one up?

Back to the top on this subject. I spoke with Tom Rubinate and he doesn't have any more Hurst wheel lug nuts. Does ANYBODY have one lug nut they will turn loose?

Hex is the same but where it penetrates the shank of the rim the lug nut will have a "bushing" type diameter that pilots into the rim. Two thicknesses were available. A thick shank is approximately .750" thick, thin approximately .375" thick. You can take a "thick" shank lug nut and cut it back in a lathe to fit a thin shank rim. A thin shank lug nut will work in both rims, you would just have less "pilot" of the lug nut in the shank of a thin rim. Obviously best to have correct match. I am still looking for a single for you, believe I have one.

It appears that I have the thin shank lug nuts. I'd take either one though. Just need one.
