Mine's a long stud with a rectangular block on one end, but I think it's homemade. It is threaded on both ends, the block end is coarse thread and the wheel lug end is fine thread (to match the lug nut). It would be pretty easy to make, if you were so inclined...

I seem to recall the production bolt was a carriage looking bolt, with a round head and a square underneath. In fact, I wonder if you could use a box bolt of the correct length (and just put a coarse thread nut on it rather than a lug nut). Hmm...
