new lug nuts
I have aftermarket (chrome) wheels on my truck and the lug nuts that came with them are starting to rust and look real ugly. Is there anything special I should be looking at to get new ones, size, design, etc?

Lug bolts
Likely they are different. My truck (07 heavy half) came with Eagle Alloy rims when I bought it (note - 7 lug bolts). I picked up some steel rims for winter tires and the I found some lug nuts at a junkyard that fit. The factory ones are flat faced and take a 21mm socket while the ones on the Eagles are 3/4" with a tapered seat on them. In my case, I think the lug bolts are the same ones on the 3/4 ton units.
Check with whatever brand of rims you have for the lug bolts they require. I'm sure threads are the same for most 6 bolt F150's but the seat angle are not necessarily the same for all brands of rims.
