Revolution 5-spokes

I just picked up a set for my 4A. Anyone here have a set? What do you use for lugs - are aftermarket lugs available?

The hubs on these things are 2-1/2" thick solid alloy, so the lug shanks are 2" long. I can't find aftermarket lug nuts with a shank longer than 1-3/8". Any leads?

BTW, IMO they are a beautiful alternative to minilite-style wheels on a TR.
 
I have a Mini in which revolutions are also made for. You will probably have to source them from a UK supplier or try Ebay UK.
 
Peter-

Maybe this?
Summit 1.75"

Moss UK and Rimmers also lists them, but they are pricey at around $6 each, no shipping..

Also on the Mini trail, here's a 2" shank listed, but thread is unknown:
Minilite 2" shank Expensive..

The Mrs. has a set of classic 4 spokes on the spitfire. Lost one of the center caps and sourced an extra couple from these guys.

They also carry the lug nuts etc.

- hope the link works
 
On a Mini they are what I consider the correct wheel. They are cool.
 
Here's a pic of one, I bought 5. I have 16 lugs but would like to find spares.

The Revolutions and the old American Racing wheels are(were) the best. I wish the Revs were a little cheaper. I would love to have a set of gold ones on my 64 Spitty.
