Howdy all,
So I was looking to replace my factory lug nuts and get ones that did not have that crappy chrome cap and were one piece. I was looking and the ones I found said that they did not work on factory rims. I was wondering why and if anyone had a suggestion for some that would work with factory rims. I wanted to get black ones.(yes I know that they will scratch over time) my truck is a 2012 ram 1500 sport.

Thank you

Had Wildpeaks installed on my truck last week and Discount Tires brought the lug nut issue to my attention. Didn't know the factory ones have an issue of swelling and possibly having the caps strip on the lugs making them difficult to remove at some point. They showed me how the lug socket barely fit the stock lugs on my truck. Bought a set of Gorilla's off of Ebay that were around $25 for 20 lugs. I really don't expect them to last too long before rusting but we'll see. Might have to go the stainless steel route to eliminate the rusting issue. Gorilla does have a set that has a lifetime warranty that I'm pretty sure pertains to rusting. Need to look into it further but for $25, I just went with what will probably be a temporary fix for now as I wanted the stock ones off the truck ASAP to avoid any issues with not being able to remove them. Be proactive and end the swelling nuts issue. LOL

I have same on my 2018. Rotated my tires twice, and no scratches or rust. And they have been in some deep snow. Just make sure the lugs you order work with factory rims. They are a little wider at the base. The other lugs are for slimmer for aftermarket rims.
