Default Lug nuts

I know this has been talked about extensively but I am a child and need my hand held. I am tired of the caps and ruined two lug nuts yesterday trying to figure out a brake issue. Luckily I had a few extras.

Can someone point me to solid lug nuts that fit our stock alloy wheels? Not to sound like some one who will throw money at a problem but I am willing to spend full price on ones that I don’t have to worry about ever again.

After spending roughly 6 hours getting 10 lug nuts off I ordered the very same lug nuts from ebay. I have 0 complaints about them, other than why weren't solid lugs stock on the truck.

Because it has to show fancy shrouded chromed nuts when a luxury vehicle is driven off roads...

Just make sure the spare wheel nuts have not been used at other wheel locations, I believe the thread is different and gets altered/damaged if used on rolling wheels... Use grease too.

A heads up, the first Ebay link shows 22 mm, while the other two show 27 mm, i.e, make sure you have the right sized lug nut wrench.

They say 27mm. I used a 27mm to put mine on. 🤷

My apologies. I did type "first Ebay link" in error. It should be the "first (Amazon) link" is showing the incorrect lug size. Thanks for the clarification.
