Default Aftermarket Lug Nuts

I know this has probably already been covered, but I stink at searching. Does anyone make aftermarket lug nuts that fit the factory T/C 17" wheels? Can't seem to find any that will fit down in the counterbore they all seem to have the taper instead.

It is not recommended to use aftermarket lug nuts on the stock rims.

I might have an extra set of OEM lugs at home if you need some. I can't check until after 5, but I'm sure we could work out a deal if you need them.

I know I don't want to use the aftermarket type that has the cone that buts up to the wheel. I was just hopeing that someone made a type that would work with factory wheels. I have several sets, just none that works like factory (other than the ones already on the wheels).

Why do you want aftermarket lugs?

Cuss I like Red and I'm not into spray painting something that will come off everytime I rotate the tires. Why do you ask?

Oh ok. I am sure there are some that will work. Let me see if I can get you alink to a bunch of lugs and see if they will work.

just make sure the lugs are flat and not conical... and that they are 1.50 and not 1.25. I have 4 sets of lugs right now... standard, splines, standard lookings ones with conical ends, and bright purple blox lugs... I know speedelement is having a say on ray extendeds but.... there 1.25 =/

Checked the site, didn't see any that wasn't conical. Makes me wish I still had access to the old machine shop I worked at.
