Do the venders carry US-spec wheel lug nuts that match the OEM look??

So the real issue is having metric wheel studs on the back and US-spec  
wheels studs on the front.  Yea... that could be problematic for the  
grease monkey at the local tire shop.

As I recall, the biggest problem with other hub-on-hat combos that  
have been tried, is that metric studs from the stock Pantera rotor  
will end up spinning in the new hub because they are too loose.  But  
if the hub comes with studs, why not just use them... because then  
you'd have a mis-match.  I think I got it now.  (but may need to be  
reminded again in several days).
