I need fresh lugs as my originals are getting rounded and beat.

I get mine from Tire Discounters. I would try any place that sells aftermarket wheels.

Thunderracing makes some nice aftermarket in your choice of colors. I just got some black chrome that add a nice touch on the black Z.

NAPA lug nuts are just fine and inexpensive, so when they wear out just throw them out and get some more.

Pay attention when you buy them as they are available in both 3/4" and 13/16" (21mm) hex sizes.

I took a stud in and had them fit the lug nut. Told them I needed 19mm and a harden nut. No alumium caps

I got mine from RockAuto. They are made by Dorman #61150 M12 thread with 19mm hex and have external thread for a cap. $1.48 each
