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,

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.
