---------New Edit-------------------
I'm finally getting around to ordering parts. I'm looking for 12mm / 1.5 pitch studs, but I'm very confused as to what would be the correct knurl size. The more I look the more I see numbers from .501 up to around .580, and it's different every time I find a new thread. Does anyone know the correct knurl size for a metric ('83 and up) rotor?

So I recently had a wheel fall of the car. She's really banged up but I think she's mostly okay. Luckily I was 15 seconds from my destination, going about 20 mph. The lug nuts appear to have gotten loose and fallen off. I only found two of them. In 8 years I've never had that happen to me before. The wheel was destroyed but no lugs were broken. Just damaged threads.
Anyway, I'd like to get some new lugs to press into the rotor which is still fine. (The drop spindles kept the rotor from hitting the ground. ) Since I race the car pretty hard, I would like to get some nice lugs (ARP?) but the question is, how many times can lugs be re-used? Would I be able to press them back out and re-use them when it comes time to change rotors? Any input is welcome, and thank you.
