What kind of "holding-wheel-onto-car-device" do I need for a set of these peugeot steel wheels?? They have an odd curve to them on the mating surface that prevents you from using standard lugnuts... And concerning that - anyone have any... I'll pay going (or better) price.

I have the same wheels and have been using stock lug nuts. I haven't had any problems. My understanding is that you need special nuts for the alloys, not the steelies.

there are steel wheels that look like these but have a "conventional" tapered area that centers the lug nut. the countour of where the lugnut seats on my wheels is like someone drilled a hole in the middle of a pringles potato chip. so the lugnut only seats on the inner and outter edge of the hole and does not contact the wheel on the "sides". Do we have the same wheel??? If so, I guess I'll give'er another shot... it just didnt fee right to me when I test-fitted them.

send me a picture of the lugnut surface so I can check them up against mine

not kidding you - my nephew literally THREW AWAY our digital camera... yea... anyway - let me scan through old pictures to see if I have one. btw - thanks for the help buddy

ere' we go - had to crop and zoom but you get the idea..

I was under the impression that if you got Pugs, you had to get Pug lugnuts to accompany them. I don't have any Pugs though (yet ), so I don't know for sure.

are your lugnuts flat or tapered on the side that contacts the wheel?

 

It's extremely hard to tell from that pic, but if the holes on the pug are concave (bows in towards the brakes, not flat), then I suppose the lugnuts from an XT6 or other similar soob with recessed lugnuts (AKA hidden by a center cap) would work...

 

again, I can't tell from that pic.

Your wheels are slightly different than mine. It does look like you need pug nuts. Sorry

you have there the less sought after 504 pugs steels(70's) later 504's were "normal". they take a special lugnut that had an oblong washer that centered the wheel. sorry, there are no aftermarket options for them.

 

you will have to find a set of 504 centering washer lugnuts. I haven't seen a set on the board for quite some time. you may wat to sneak onto a pug forum and try to get a set....

or call up Loops Auto Wrecking in Albany, OR 97321. They specialize in Pugs and such... my dad has those same steelies on his '79 504 diesel and yes, they have the funky lugs and washers...
