Lug nut questions

I just scored on a set of Ford factory aluminum wheels from a '96 E250 van. I plan to put them in my '79 F250. The studs on the van were 9/16" while my studs are 1/2". The bolt patern is the same. I have priced lug nuts from NAPA,
$96.00 a set. I looked on ebay and can get a set for about $40.00. I know that "you get what you pay for", but is there any one out there that has bought these things? Any good? Any feed back would be appreciated.

I would personally steer away from any "really good e-bay deals" on things like lug nuts. Why didn't you grab the lugs from the '96? I'd go back to a yard and see if I could find a set.

$96.00 for a set of lug nuts??? WTF? Are they special for that style of wheel?

Why not just buy the industry-standard "Gorilla" lugs?
