EMPI Chrome Wheel Stud & Nut Kit — M14x1.5 to 1/2-20, 4 Pair, for 4x130 Hubs
Short answer: EMPI's chrome stud-and-nut kits convert one 4x130 wheel from lug bolts to studs: four studs that thread into the VW hub with M14x1.5 and take 1/2-20 nuts on the outside, plus four chrome nuts. Choose 00-9534-0 with 60° acorn nuts for steel wheels or 00-9511-0 with mag-wheel nuts and flat washers. Fits 1968–1979 Beetles, 1967–1974 Ghias, 1966–1973 Type 3s; four kits do a car.

Why It Matters
The 1/2-20 outer thread opens up the huge range of American-thread lug nuts and is the standard for many buggy and hot-rod wheels. Match the nut to the wheel: 60° acorn for cone-seat steel wheels, mag-wheel nuts with washers for flat-seat mag wheels.
Install Notes
- Thread studs fully into the hub by hand, then snug them.
- Torque nuts to the wheel manufacturer's spec in a cross pattern; re-check after 50 miles.
