I mean the collars need to be bigger than rst ones,
mate got some over the counter for cosworth wheels on a mk2 orion
you can get the rst ones off with a hacksaw but up to you
over the counter should be possible

Might be wrong but i think what your probably after are ghia wheel bolts.

Should be able to get them from eBay. Got mine from my local oval race track supplier.

Do the studs just tap in? I'd go for that mate as my threads in hubs are ancient so at least it would all be new etc . Couple of bolts just feel like they wanna keep turning after I've tightened them and that was before the cossie alloys! If you get me?

You ideally wanna press them or pull them in.

If you pull them in use a old steel wheel type wheel nut and 3-4 washers and tighten the nut against the washers which will pull the splines of the studs into the hubs.
