what type of wheels are you trying to fit?

if you need "acorn" style lugnuts like to run with bogarts or something, then you can order some nice chrome ones from summit or a local tire/wheel dealer. I believe that it also may be a newer cheby size. also, if you need tapered(acorn) lugs in the same thread, try stopping by any ford dealership in town. I believe that all of the new expeditions and f-150s use our thread pitch in a tapered lugnut.

good luck.

later,
chris

Yeah just the tapered acorns for the slicks.

I just tried all the usual clowns first.Napa...Autozone...Advance Auto....What I love about those places is no matter how long a guy seems to have worked at one his intelligence level never rises above a goat.

I did check summit and they do carry some really spiffy stainless ones by McGard.All for a low low price of 18.99 for 4.Being that I only need 10 that would ring up the old calculator to the tune of 56.97 + we don't charge for shipping but we do charge 9.95 to put it in a box which equals 66.92.

Now I don't mind spending 66 bux it's really no big deal...but for some lugnuts??????That just seems crazy.I am now just contemplating drilling some lugnuts I have laying around out and retaping them the correct size.The worse that can happen is my wheel falls off.

I'll give Ford a shot tommorrow.
