I spent way too much time looking for these. I ended up on the Ram App and found black Lug Nuts. They are a set of four so I would have to buy 6 sets. The list price is 71.80 for a set of 4!!!! I called the dealer and they could not find them so I gave them the number and their price is over 100 dollars, if I purchased 6 sets that would be over 600 dollars for lug nuts. My truck has black emblems and black wheels but it comes with chrome lug nuts! They look silly to me and I was wondering if anyone has any info on Black lug nuts for 25 Ram LoneStar (6 on each wheel).
It strikes me as odd that they would list those like that. I am certain they do not sell a bunch of them at that price?
Thank you in advance.

you could price out a chrome set and price out powder coating or getting them black chrome done to them!
and I agree I have the black out pkg as well and the chrome looks stupid ! but first off I am not worried enough to either powder coat or chrome them black or buy as set of OEM black besides The lock nuts only come in chrome

‘Mcgard is the brand locking lug nuts that the manufacturer uses , if you look them up you will find a much more reasonable price. They are high quality and should be good for your machine .
Also they are a one piece design that will not crush like the factory ones do , they are two pieces, the nut with a Crome or black cover that does not hold the test of time.

I think I paid $125 for a set of McGard black lug nuts.

Edit: Tried finding the ones I bought but I don’t see them listed on Amazon anymore.

I did a lot of reading this morning and ended up with this place. According to the pictures and descriptions this is a match to what I have just in BLACK.

Gorilla spline drive lugs are the cheapest quality 1 piece you’ll find. About $50 for a a set of 30 on Amazon if I recall correctly. You can actually use a regular 6 point socket on them too without damaging them, so don’t need to worry about losing the adapter.

Are on the way and again my fat arthritic fingers get in the way. I ordered the 32 so I’ll have spares. I went with these because they are one piece and plated black chrome, always had painted and thought it was time for a change. They are supposed to be much better than painted? :)

These are immaculate! Way better than any painted ones I have ever seen! Purchased them thru Alpha Wheel Accessories. These are rock solid and the electric plate is the way to go for sure!:) Now I have to go get them put on. I’ll go out in a bit and get er done:)IMG_6147.jpeg

Did one tire and quit. Real feel temp is 107 and not a breath of wind. It is just to dang hot. These are awesome. To me they look great and make a good difference on the appearance. They look great!:) I will never use painted lug nuts again, I wish I would have known about these two trucks ago!:)
They look so much better than the chrome, and I had a set of valve stem caps in black too.


Update,,,, I could not stand it!!!!! :)
I went out and finished them and have them all torqued. All done and they look good. IMO:)

BEWARE! Some of the products offered which APPEAR in the “Title” to Fit Ram Wheels…. DO NOT. and it’s not always obvious . Even THIS offer has a buried note about this issue. (I have selected one of the sub-notes of this advert to bring it to attention.) I.E. not all “bulge-nuts” actually Fit the wheel. Additionally, not all “aftermarket” wheels properly fit either.

(add to that… “bulge” and “acorn” and “conical” are Not interchageable)

but that is just hotrodding 101
the moment you change one thing, you need to make sure the next part matched the new part AND the remaining OEM

been like that for years, you remember these guys ?
