Well, it's three things. When you order this setup, the wheels are designed to work with our Flush-Loc centerlock conversion kit. And the winged knock-off style nut is a new optional center nut (that sells for $300 each).
So to get this exact setup, you need to order:
1. One set of the RS6 wheels. (

2. One Flush-Loc centerlock conversion kit. (

3. One set of optional winged knock-off style center nuts.
From there, it's pretty easy. Just bolt the Flush-Loc adapter to your hub (it will already be precision-machined to fit your hub and the RS6 wheels). Use the supplied Forgeline drive pin lug nuts to mount the adapter to your hub and torque to your hub's usual torque spec. Then slide the wheel over the adapter and secure it with your knock-off style center nut. Torque spec is 300 lb-ft.
The adapters & nuts are threaded separately for left and right sides, so if installed properly, they should only get tighter while driving. But you'll notice that Roadster Shop also adds that extra bit of safety wire for a cool vintage look (and some extra peace of mind).
The RS6 will be machined with holes into which the drive pin lug nuts will slide, creating a perfect fit and a mechanism for forward torque transfer.
