John:

In the "early years" quite a few of the ERAs went out the door with a Center Line wheel with ERAs cast Halibrand look center held on by a bolt on center piece and a standard Halibrand wing-nut. To the best of my now rapidly fading recollection (my first ERA, circa 1985, had that setup) the lug nuts were the then standard CenterLine mag/aluminum wheel nuts. ERA still has a few of the cast "centers' somewhere up there* (although they may require machining to fit) and Peter or Bob can surely confirm what the correct lug nut is for the "period" CenterLine.

*You haven't lived until you have had a tour of the "archives" in the brown house. It makes the Bates Motel look like a palace.

**Over the years I've seen quite a few of the early cars with bolt on wheels get converted to pin drive hubs and Halibrand wheels. ERA has its own billet 6 pin hubs and Trigo makes a five pin setup. All it takes is a check book...
