Just picked up a take off set of 18” Lariat wheels/Duratracs. Less than 5 miles, truck never left dealer before buyer had aftermarket installed. They’ll be going onto my XLT Premium as soon as TPMS are installed.
Looking to replace all 32 lug nuts and get rid of the stock jacketed nuts. Anyone done this and happy with your choice? If so, where did you buy?
Hadn't seen that set before, that is what would be needed.
Of course, since they are not SS capped, they will rust, so you'll have to be on top of that to keep them looking good.
I see this old thread has been revisited. Here's what I put on the truck if anyone is interested or in the process of doing what I did: https://www.ebay.com/itm/204231461742

Nice! Same exact ones as both the Amazon and Coyote links above.

I thought they were close. The truck has had several thousand miles put on since the switch. All seems good so far.
I have up Amazon Prime a few months ago so I've been doing a little more eBay shopping.

Yeah, I'm really on the fence about dropping Prime as well. But with having the CC, I save more than enough to cover the membership cost...so I dunno
I need to get on it and order some lug nuts too. My truck came with the XLT wheels and closed center caps, so it came with the open-end steel lug nuts since you couldn't see them. I put '21 Lariat wheels on it a couple years ago and they came with open center caps...so my ugly lug nuts & studs are now showing on the front. It's starting to bug me now...

I guess I couldn't justify $140 per year anymore. And every time I went to view something on their "included" streaming service they wanted more money on top of the yearly subscription. That kinda pushed me over the edge.
There are still things there with free shipping even though I don't have Prime anymore. And Prime has gone from 2-3 day shipping to more like 10 days. Amazon wants more money for less service in my opinion.

I agree. Luckily, I was locked into the $119 price this year. My dad doesn't have Prime, yet 99% of his orders ship for free, and he usually gets stuff quicker than I do! It used to be anything over $25 shipped for free. Then they bumped the threshold to $35 for non-Prime members. I wonder if this is still true today?
I don't use Amazon for any sort of streaming...no music/movies/shows...so that is lost on me too. I get 5% back with their CC, and it just so happens our state sales tax is 5.3%....so basically I buy "tax free" from there. Not counting other %-back offers from gas to restaurants, to grocery, to other businesses...so despite the cost, I am still saving money overall. I still shop around, as Amazon is not always the cheapest place for the same items.
Oddly enough, I just ordered the lugnuts and they said they will be here tomorrow. I also ordered a slide hammer, and it will be here Wednesday. We'll see.
