M14X1.5 Long Shank Lug Alternative to Race Star?

[zrwhat]

Looking for an alternative to the Race Star lugs that are complete $hit! Typically would go McGard but they do not offer any Drag lugs in M14 thread. I know that somebody makes them because I have one that is stamped M14X1.5 and has a HD on it but can't figure out who made the lug? I need open ended as well, anybody know of a manufacturer?

I'm using the Gorilla 84147 Cragar SST M14x1.5 lugs with my Racestars.

They do not offer an open end version but I'd hazard a guess the top will pop right off if you ran it down on a longer stud ..

There's some open ended lugs on feebay but they're likely as bad as the Racestars.

Thanks, I located the company this morning and of course I can't order direct but they said Discount Tire should be able to order them for me. The company is Excalibur Wheel Accessories and their PN for Open End is 8609.

I saw those but did not consider them as they are advertised as having a .688" shank,

Racestar uses a .740" hole so those will be .050" undersized.

Looking at that feebay ad it's for the Excaliber 8859 .. The pictures they hosted up show a .750" shank but the Excaliber catalog shows it as being .688" so it's also undersized.

Ended up ordering them through Discount Tire PN 8609 for Lug and PN 773C for washer both distributed by Excalibur Wheel. $65 for a box of 25 lugs and washers.

They came in Friday and they measure 0.730 shank, in the Race Star lugs measure 0.720 on the shank. My rims measure just over 0.740. The new lugs have a slightly shorter hex by 0.150 but seem to be much better centering thread to shank.
