This is by far the best install I've seen (sans people who can just get the snap on disks)

I've debated getting 3 more spares 15x6 and getting the snap on disks. However, I like my lightweight factory alloys.

I am rather confident that I can find those double threaded lug nuts. I'll have to do some checking around. I like the idea of having the nut set into the 2nd lug nut and then using maybe a panhead phillips machine thread bolt to make it as smooth as possible.

I was also thinking of drilling and tapping my stock wheel. Alot of racers do this to mount slicks (out at the edge, intentionally going into the bead of the tire). So I might be able to do it where the spoke meets the outer ring area. Drill / Tap use above mentioned bolts...
5 No 8 machine threads should be more than enough to hold on a flat plastic disc right?
