Yup, another good idea. I am not portraying the plastic lug nut correctly. Inside the plastic lug nut, it's not a hex-shaped volume, it's a cylinder-shaped volume. I will take one off my other wheel and take inside/outside pix of it.

I think all these ideas can solve the problem. At this point at least it's a small (3/8") problem, .
