Lug Nut Replacement

[sking]

I got new tires installed a few weeks ago and I just noticed that they replaced one of the OEM lug nuts with a ugly generic one. I understand that accidents happen but it would have been nice if they said something. The question is where can I get a replacement?

Gorrilla or McGard. You could grab a "locker" too.

*Have (and had) used several versions, and all were excellent quality and durable.

According to Gorilla's tech info, we should be using the Acorn Bulge lugnuts, and that's what I bought when the originals were getting scratched and rusty.

The replacement as you say may actually be an original. The chrome caps can come off and a basic lug is left. Still would have been nice for them to tell you what happened. If you want an OEM try your local Ford dealer.:)

Yep perfect time to upgrade to locking lugs......safety & security.

Plus, now you will have an extra set of three (3) stock lugs for future use.

Gorrilla locking lug nuts was my choice so agreed on the previous posts!!!!!!
