Black lug nuts

[MikeyG]

Looking to swap out the factory chrome lug nuts on my XLT wheels for black ones. I was thinking of getting the spline kind so I have some type of security. Can someone tell me what size lug nuts I would need?

I’ll check them out. 150ftlbs is that how tight they need to be?

Interesting. What is it usually on other vehicles?

I found this: https://wheelandtireproz.com/lug-nut-torque-chart/

Apparently it's usually like 80-100.

McGard is an OEM supplier and makes quality standard lug nuts, along with some other options as well. They are hardened and tempered IIRC, as well as plated for color, and should hold up to the required torque no problem.

The cheap nuts are just garbage steel and many times way too soft. They are usually painted too, which means they will chip and get damaged with install/removal.
