I got some cheap chrome lug nuts off Amazon for around $17 for 24. I have chrome wheels so staying with chrome was required but I wanted to ditch the 2 piece factory ones.

The bolt shoulder looks very similar the only problem was I test fitted one tonight an it wouldn't screw on by hand...felt light a lot of resistance. I went ahead an used the wrench to put it on an took it back off. I reinstalled the factory one to make sure the threads weren't damaged an it was fine then the replacement lug went on easier the second time. Guess I got what I paid for.

FPP Catalog lists lug nuts for alloy wheels only.

What is different between alloy and steel wheel lug nuts ?

How are these working? Any problems?
Haven't had any issues so far. They have been through one winter and one tire rotation and still look good.

I had Amazon version and the gloss went flat quick...these are high quality...love them...
How are these lugs still doing? I just bought a set of Black Rhino Beadlock wheels and I'm looking for lugs.

Yes...they're mounted on my truck ?

Thanks Brett...the fender kit is from Air Design...beautifully made to automotive grade standards...they came with German euro matt black but you can have them painted and are holding very very well...I'd do it all over again...BTW, the studs are real fasteners... ;)

The lug nuts are doing great...I've taken them off/on several times...after re-install, I torque them to 100lbs...retorque 50 miles...and again two more times and don't have to recheck them again until the next rotation...
