lug nuts
I just got new wheels and they need the lug nuts with the bevel on the end of them. The "acorn" style I think. But I wanted to be able to reuse the stock centercaps. Anyone know if there is a stock nut that would work that has that bevel on it? Or has anyone found online a stock style with the bevel? Or any other tricks or ways to be able to reuse them?
Thanks for the help, and its on a 2000 f250 4x4 if that makes a difference.

X2, lugcentric wheels are a bad idea on a superduty and if you need beveled lug nuts those wheels are lugcentric.
The reason they are a bad idea is Hubcentric wheels carry the majority of the weight on the hub itself, lugcentric wheels carry all the weight on the lugs.
Probational outcomes are losing a wheel because you sheared off all the lugs and or bearing failures because all the weight is now out on the end of the lugs creating leverage on the bearings.
I hope you can return the wheels.

Here is what I got.

So if they have a bevel, that means they're lugcentric right?
