Default Non-Crappy Lug Nuts?

Are there lug nuts which don't suck eggs that are available as replacements? I'm in the process of replacing my CV joints, and it was a total pain in the *** to get all the lug nuts off (my first time removing the wheels on this vehicle). The stupid little caps had all been dorked up to the point where the only thing that would fit over them was a socket that was too big to grip the nut underneath. Two lugs didn't have caps, but wouldn't you know it they were rounded off as well. I ended up cutting off the caps and getting the nuts off with a 1" socket, but it sure would be sweet if there were some proper sized solid lugs available as replacements.

Range Rover Classic lug nuts, they are solid.
Rovers North and Atlantic British have them.

What's your asking price?

EDIT: I see you have an '03. If the wheels are from that truck, it's a different pattern. Correct?

The wheels are for disco I. They are the stock steel wheel, 16x7, not the cooler "wolf" wheel.

If the wheels were for my 03, I'd keep them.

I'd like to get $200 for them, but that might be silly.

They have tires on them, or just the bare wheels? I'm going to need to be replacing my tires sometime in the near future. Although at the rate that this thing is actually in running condition, my old tires could last another decade or so, from a mileage standpoint.

I'd buy them if shipping didn't kill me. Way to expensive to ship crap here.

I got the solid ones from a Recycler on the West Coast for 100 bucks for 20 good ones. Just specify tyhe ones for a Range Rover Classic. I have seen them on a few of the Rover supplier sites. And I bought one of the 4 way lug wrenches too. It gives you great leverage getting them on or off.
