lug nuts

I have an 06 f150 with the 20" Roush wheels. I just put some 17" XLT wheels with snows on. I cant put the center caps on because the other wheels had aftermarket lugs. The dealer wants 5 bucks apiece ($120+) for lugs. No one shows a listing for our trucks. They list a 5 and 7 lug, but no 6 lug. I figured out they were 14 X 2.0. Any suggestions?

you can usually get general lugs from a napa or store of the sorts. or you could use a performance shop like 4wheelparts, and order any style you need.

Try Discount Tire store, Les Schwab, Big O Tires, Firestone, Goodyear....I ran out of names, but these guys put rims on vehicles all the time and should be able to help and be cheaper.

I know it's ugly, but other than cosmetic, is there any reason to have the center caps on?

whats wrong with calling one of your area junk yards let them know the make, year and # of lugs per wheel. i would think they have a bucket of these.

ugly, yes, but all the road crap rusts up the hub area too. i have the long lugs bcuz they go deep into the wheel, so yeah, they look stupid, like they belong on a mid-80's 2wd chevy with a ton of rust, white wagon wheels and oversized non-matching tires

03,

Try this auction on ebay.

http://http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotor...QQcmdZViewItem

I think it may be what you are looking for. (I have no connection with this seller nor know any thing about him.)

Glad to help, I was equally shocked that Autozone web site shows them "not available" as well as O'reillys.

Email seller and ask for a buy it now. He may just oblige.

Good Luck!

If you call 4wheelparts they will sell them to you, they just don't show them on their site. I believe the price is around $30 for all 4 wheels.

if they were right that would be awesome, but the best price for the correct ones is 57 bucks so far. A lot better than 120 plus though
