    You may well know, but the race intended adapters use the 5/8" course thread wheel stud common to most racing applications. Most of the wheels that you might use don't play well with the big 5/8" lug nuts. So before buying come up with a plan to modify / reduce the stud hole to use the 1/2" wheel stud you most likely want to use. I have seen both threaded and splined 5/8" studs used and the hole size varies a bit.

    IIRC there is a Dorman 1/2x20 wheel stud that can be used to replace the 5/8" studs used on the roundy round adapters. Maybe @gimpyshotrods knows?

    Yes, there is!

    Unfortunately, I can't get to the shop! It's not wheelchair accessible.

    It is in the catalog of wheel studs.

    Also available in kits which include the lug nuts.

    The Dorman parts normally have pretty shallow knurls and most don't have the correct diameters to work with the race car stuff.

    The 0.685 knurl ones are ringing the bell.
