I guess I am gonna have to make a tool.
If the inserts are held on by the knock off itself only, and the wheels behind are actually regular bolt on items, then they were sourced through Centerline. They are no longer available, all NOS shelf items have been bought up 20 years ago, and the only way to source them now is through a wanted ad in the classifieds CLICK HERE. Yes, really.

How do I know, 15 years ago when I had ERA188, I attempted for an entire winter to source a replacement knock off splined section as one of mine had split from over-tightening by the previous owner. 6 months in, I ordered a complete knock off kit from Trigo and added them to the car. Sold the 3 left overs to a member here in a day, and for almost what I paid for the Trigo setup.
