ABSTRACT:
A lug nut device is provided to enable an adjustable, durable and lockable connection between a wheel and an axle of a vehicle. The lug nut device includes two components, a lug nut composed of hardened metal and a tapered washer composed of aluminum. The lug nut is comprised of a plurality of arbitrarily arranged rounded and flat sides. The tapered washer has a large surface area, allowing for self-centering and weight distribution. The tapered washer and lug nut are connected by press-fitting the base of the lug nut to the flat end of the tapered washer. The two components then are fixedly engaged to a bolt, adjustably connecting the wheel to the axle. The lug nut device is more securely fastened by the means of a socket or key whose interior cavity circumference is complimentary to the sides of the lug nut.
