Hi Bruce,

Those lug nuts look perfect.

I purchased special sockets for my breaker bar and torque wrench that have inserts to protect the lug nut and the wheel. Not for use with an air impact wrench. Price is right IMO.

No no no. Without seeing them on a posters truck. Are they real? ;-)

Thanks Phil. I remember seeing these on the focus forum but forgot they even existed until you mentioned it.

These are what i bought.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083PX255P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They come in packs of 20 and measured out to be exact dimensions as stock from what I remember. They fit perfect.
I also bought these locks

They stick out further than the other lugs but I dont mind.

I went with these from Amazon. Same thought...the chrome lug nuts just didn't go with a black appearance.

Fit perfect and I think they look much better than the stock ones.

I bought the same ones. They look great!

Seems like a LOT less surface contact with these! Looking at your wheels @JKocot , it’s comparable tho. I assume you haven’t had any issues?

the angle looks fine, but the amount of contact is drastically reduced.

I think the black ones should be avoided...not enough bearing area...McGard for the black one?
you can see the stock two piece lug nut that is prone to swelling. I got rid of these on my chrome package with ones off Ebay that have the same bearing area as the OEM lug nuts and are plated chrome. JMO Cone angle on both are 60°.

No I have had no problems but now I am paranoid.

 

[JKocot]

Here are the ones I bought. Why would these not work?

No I have had no problems but now I am paranoid.

I ordered the same, but found the 24 pack.

So these arrived today. Unfortunately, I think they are going to get returned. The seating surface is significantly smaller than on OEM. I'm concerned that will cause damage to the wheel. Sorry for the photo quality.
