66-67 chrome lug nuts

Like to find some original lug nuts for the 65-67 F85 chrome wheel option.

Part # 391399

Any condition from NOS to rusty originals.

Thanks, Henry

Henry, are these the ones with the round dome? If so I might have a few.

Ed these are solid steel chrome plated lug nuts, not the stainless steel capped ones introduced in 68. If can do a pic that would tell me, no hurry. Thanks, Hennry

I was not aware the factory used chromed steel LN's
Interesting
I collected a few sets of SS capped ones a while back when National Automotive Lines was offering them. Chrome always rusts... the capped ones last if you don't install/ remove with an impact.

I've had problems with the capped ones and SSI wheels in particular. The holes in the wheels tend to open up just a little bit with use and the outer-most part of the seats on those nuts are a small enough diameter that the nuts seat far too much into the holes to the point of being dangerous. Maybe they are fine with other wheels, but I won't use them with SSIs.

Is that the condition known as "wollered out" from days of yore?

a little off topic but i bought some 'correct' ss11 lug nuts from inline tube and two of them wont retorque after a few wheel removals,they just have that slow keep spinning stripped feeling...they claim to be usa made but the metal seems soft...the real deal ones are like 300 bucks a set
