1986 f150 with ford bullet hole mags

i found a set of the original bullet hole mags from the 80’s but now I can not find any lug nuts to fit them. Everything I find the shank is to big around to go inside the mag looks like it needs to be a 5/8 diameter and everything out their for aftermarket are 3/4 any help on where to find them would be greatly appreciated

Are you sure the lugs go inside the Ford mags? Most of the Ford aluminum mag wheels I have messed with take the standard tapered lug nut, and the nut does not go up inside the wheel like on cragers and keystones.

Mike - forgive me if I'm wrong on this. Those look like the OEM Ford Alcoa wheels that I have on my 1996 F150. I replaced a set of grey painted steelies with these rims and just used the standard lug nuts that came on my truck. They haven't fallen off yet, and that's been a couple thousand miles ago.

There are TWO types of 1/2" -20 lug nuts: Styled aluminum wheel is different than styled steel wheel. The anchors that retain the ornaments are also specific to one or the other.
