These are the wheels. Bought them from Cool Air VW. Really struggling trying to find 1/2 UNF chrome nuts :( they look really sweet on ut as well :(

I've got to ask why you just don't change the drums to 4 bolt ones, or even upgrade to disks with the right pattern?

It's always going to be better than using an adapter

Swaping drums is not really an option on a K&L front end.

The last 4x130mm ones I used had 1/2 inch unf threads, I used some chrome MGB or Jag XJ6  nuts iirc.

As I said earlier in the thread you could use MGB ones. Cheap as chips too.
