Default Lug Nuts, which, and where?

I was wandering where to find some lug nuts for steel wheels. I have looked around but am not finding the correct thread pattern. I believe I need a 16mm X 1.5 long. I would like to find some black ones. I have found multiple sites that have lug nuts for my truck but they seem to come in multiple sizes.... .5, .44, 12mm and so on. Any help would be great. Thanks

The lug nuts are 16x1.5. 1.5 is the thread pitch, not the length.
The nuts you need for steel wheels are black and short. Rovahfarm.com will have your best price.

G is for Genuine. Though I can't imagine why it would matter on a nut.

That is a great website, haven't seen that one yet. That is also a great price on lugs. I was hoping to find closed ended ones. Anyone have any ideas where I might be able to find black closed end ones. If not I will order these.

I've never seen and I don't believe they make closed end lug nuts for steel wheels. There are solid steel(as opposed to SS capped) lug nuts, but they are still for alloys only.

Trevor at Rovahfarm is where I got mine, best price around.
His web site it hard to navigate and find things on so I just shoot him a e-mail, he replies and I order and he ships it out the next day.
I buy more parts from him than AB now.

I think I found some closed end lug nuts. They are chrome, not black, but what do you guys think. Looks like they will work. They are on www.okoffroad.com web site. They are under accessories.

What are the pros and cons for closed versus open. I heard the closed wont rust as easily. Any comments.
