Black Lug Nuts?

Has anybody been able to find Black Lug nuts for our trucks? I have a 2007 FX4 and I am not sure what size I need.

These are on ebay, but the note says they are for a GM with 14mm X 1.5 RH/T. I asked teh seller if they will fit a 2007 Ford F150, but he has not replied.

Protonvx,

Please take a picture of them, if you get a chance. I would like to see if they are shiny black or more of a dark chrome color. They have two different pictures on their web site, so it is hard to tell.

Thanks,

FX4-Texas

Got them in. They are like a satin black. Not really shiny but not flat black either.

I know 4wheelparts has gotten a bad rap but you might want to contact them. I had them ordered for my truck when I got my new rims and they look great.

Not trying to knock 4wheelparts, but I bought mine for $0.92 a piece plus shipping, so I just got another set for the wife's jeep and then the shipping wasn't too bad. Still a lot cheaper than 4wheelparts and they are gorilla brand. 4wheelparts quoted me $48 for a set.

WOW $48 when I had my lift done with new wheels a bit ago I got them for all 4 wheels (6 a piece) for $26 or $1.08 a piece.

$48 sure sounds like a rip off, you aint kiddin!

Protonvx,

Thanks for taking the picture. They do look black and not black chrome.

Here it is:



By the way, what kind of wheels are tires did you buy and what size are they?

I actually found them used off of ebay. They are the american racing punishers, 17x8.5, teflon black and 295/70 nitto terra grapplers. Long story short, I was tired of getting the "they are on back order" response and was going to order 285/65/18 terra grapplers for the stock wheels and happened to find the used set on ebay. I will add better pics of the wheels when I actually remember to take a pic with the sun shining.
