[Cookie Monster]

Hey everyone - 1st time posting. I have enjoyed the site and mag. very much. I am seeking some chrome lug nuts for my 1997 3500 dually. Get'n no where on the web and didn't see anything over at Gino's. Any help would be appreciated!

On my dually the lug nuts are a 2 piece type with a conical looking washer attached that rotates independently of the nut portion. I've never seen a chrome version but you may be able to get a slip on cover like the big rigs use.

lol... thx for the reply. I was thinking of buying new and having them chromed as a possibility as well.... buuuut.... buying slip ons seems to be a more economical path. I have seen those at the truck stops. I painted my rims flat black and wanted some contrast. The chrome dome look on the fronts wheels I really don't like. Thx again.

I checked into buying some new ones once and the only place I could find them was the dealer @ $12.00 each. I ended up contacting a guy on ebay called Redlinear and he sold me a set of 32 used ones for $25.00. He specializes in parting out dodge trucks and told me he had been selling the lug nuts for scrap( 55gal. drums full) for years.

Wow!!!! $12/per YIKES!.... those $1 plastics caps better work!!!!! I'll have to look this guy up if I can't get the caps to work. Thanks.

Dorman has nothing? They make a million different wheel nuts. Catalog is online.

i bought a set from Redlinear and a 11.5 rearend for a dually off him too, He specializes in Dodge parts, Monte

Redlinear? They do 3 gen too? Website? I'm not familiar with this wheel nut, sounds like a Ford SD nut with the floating washer.

Thx for the Dorman web site idea. Great site - but they only sell the factory replacement. I am looking for something chrome. Chrome lug or caps. Not sure what the "SD" stands for but the dodge is a flat face lug with the floating flange type washer. It is sounding like 'Redliner' is a member here...?

I saw somebody post about finding lug nuts for a Sprinter that used flat faced conical seat washer lug nuts like the Dodge 3500, they found something here, but IIRC it was a two piece loose washer and lug nut combo.

your local tire shop should have a large selection of lug nuts
