Sigh, I need to tap one of my lug holes. Any advice?

I personally would probably be buying a new center for that rim.

You could use large flat washers to make up for the egg holes, but the lock washers would be able to spin right off of them, putting you right back in the same situation!

Here are some interesting lug nuts that have an “improved type” locking mechanism built in (or supplied with the nut?). But I don’t know if these would work on top of a flat washer either.
