My R/T has just regular lug nuts on it, but they are covered by a "hub" cap. The lug nuts are just plain old, open ended lug nuts.

Hersbird, Those are the ones im talking about....
Had the truck serviced and they put them on way to tight, trying to remove them with a torque wrench and put them on to 100lbs and snapped the ratchet extender and crushed those gay little caps. I want some real solid 1 piece lugs thats all.

just go to your local parts place and they can tell you whit size you need. Most people carry gorilla nuts. they work fine and I change my tires over at least tice a week with an impact. Plus the price isn't bad.

if them lugnuts is "Solid Chrome" i would never buy them. Chrome is a hard but VERY BRITTLE metal that cracks very easily. one good hard bang on a rut and yer wheel will be out in a field somewhere. McGards are chrome plated. Says so right on the shrink wrapped card. However they are a heat treated alloy that makes them simular to grade 8. If they was solid chrome a whole set would cost about $800 US. Chrome aint cheap.

Just go to your local tire shop. Tell them you want stainless steel lug nuts. If they are polished they look like chrome. If left plain they have a satin finish. They will never rust unless you take strong acid or alkili to them and then do not wash it off. I wont put a non SS nut on a vechile anymore. I hate rusty looking lug nuts!!!!
