    A machine shop can make you anything for a price.

    I have a Freightliner that has the really short lug studs on the front axle. None of the screw on style covers will work and I hate those pop in caps on the center of the wheel.

    Only ones I've found that work are these: https://www.iowa80.com/DirectionsWE...zOJuCVYePlRYcoDuuB6hBkII30ebOqzH7caAniD8P8HAQ

    The place I got them from was selling them for 60-something a piece so a better price is available. Something to consider if you can't find anything to make your current ones work.

    Not the ones I've reached out to. Tried almost 20 in my region so far. Either too small of a job of they just can't do it.

    Yes I thought about the magnet thing. The wheel studs are the only magnetic part of the entire wheel area. I don't think I'd find magnets powerful enough (and yet small enough) to keep a grip on that small of an area

    All you gotta do is tell him the specs and he will make them and ship them to you

    He's an old retired guy that has a machine shop in his garage behind his house and he just does it for entertainment to keep himself from going senile.
