    you can just get any kind of gorilla lug nut with an acorn seat. No need for the fancy "low profile" ones that cost more and require a special socket or here (check prices not sure which is cheaper)

    I ordered the ones that @Wulf linked me to. I have thinner steel rims so the extra length is not needed.

    When I go to install the new ones, im going to lightly clean up the seats on the rim with a countersink drill bit since they have a ton of metal build up from the lugs.

    Maybe doing this will also remedy the mystery vibrations I get driving on the highway :notsure:
