wow! thanks for keeping the eye out. i ended up finding out the ford racing part number and ordered them from buyfordracing.com for 72 bucks shipped for the set of 20. they said the ford racing part number is discontinued now though, and that i got lucky that they had 4 sets of 5 in stock. works for me.

to late for you but

I bought a few replacements from Napa that are a perfect match to the stock ones!! (mine are 12mm vs the newer 14mm, but I'd guess they can get the 14's aswell!!)

was that even for the chrome ones? because if i ever need another, thats great info right there!

yes they are the chrome ones.

the only difference is on the washer where it mates up to the wheel, the stock lug nuts have little bumps and the Napa lug nuts have little dimples (or the other way around) but other than that, which is unseen, they resemble stock lug nuts. Mr. Green

but FYI if you are replacing a lug stud, you need to use some washers (I used an old idler bearing the second time around) to pull the stud in to place or else the stud will cut through the chrome lug nut cap, yep I'm a dumb azz some times!!! Embarassed

Rockauto has some as well.
I think I got some before when I messed up my stockers with so much on and off the truck work.

Rock Auto is the ROCK!

But we have local SV's as well. 5Star for gives us a smokin deal.

Rock auto is a SV with SVTOA.
I am not sure the discount but usually 10%
When you buy from them the usually send you an Email about a week or two later offering you a discount even if you are not an SVTOA member.

Good deal on TR6 plugs if you use them.
