Reddit reviews McGard 64012 Chrome 4 Lug Nuts

Depends on the vehicle model, some brands have much larger problems with wheel nuts than others. Toyota only has issues with their alloy wheel nuts whereas Fiat/Chrysler/Dodge have problems with almost every model they make. Ford also has large issues with wheel nuts where GM is usually only on alloy wheel equipped vehicles.

If you don't own an affected model, it's never going to come up to change them unless they become damaged in some other way. But it's a common enough problem on domestic vehicles that we order these wheel nuts by the case at my shop and these flip sockets (19mm, 21mm and 22mm) are almost a necessity in everyone's toolboxes.

I bought McGards. They have a part selector that will drill down to ones that fit. They have a couple color options (black or chrome) and end designs. The seat design must be selected properly so they clamp correct.

Here’s the ones I bought: McGard 64012 Chrome Bulge Cone Seat Style Lug Nuts (M12 x 1.5 Thread Size) - Set of 4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000COS0GU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_2mm6TRxu8LfTQ

Here's what they look like. This was last weekend. I swapped them with some McGards I got on Amazon for $57.

This is very common on lots of newer fords. When they swell the only socket that works is a 19.5mm. I recommend replacing them asap just so you don’t get stuck someone if you happen to get a flat tire. I replaced my lug nuts at 8k miles to get black ones for my black wheels so I personally have not had an issue but I have seen it multiple times at the shop I work at.

I used mcgard lug nuts which are a one piece design and are made very well and you should not have to replace them again.

Here are chrome ones you can pick black as well.

I used these based on recommendations from this sub:
