Default Sourcing Chrome Lug Nuts 1/2"-20

I cannot find simple, steel chrome lug nuts that are 5/8" to 1-1/8" long in 1/2"-20 thread with a 3/4" nut size. There are lots of locking lug nuts but that means that I have to keep up with a tool that I'm sure I won't be able to find if I need it.

Can anyone point me to a source? I don't want locking lug nuts, just simple ones.

TIA

Try looking up Dorman parts or do a search on Summit.

I found the chrome lug nuts I want at Dorman but they only sell them in lots of 200.

I specifically want nuts that require a 3/4" wrench. The thread has to be 1/2"-20 RH. The length I'm looking for is 5/8" to 1-1/8". The Dorman nuts I found are not quite 7/8" long which would be OK, but I don't need 200 lug nuts, only 20 plus maybe 1 or 2 extras.

Summit doesn't have anything close to what I want.

Who would have thought that something as simple as a lug nut - not a locking or capped lug nut but an open end one - would be so difficult to source?

Have you gone to any parts stores and asked the parts clerk?

Yeah I got mine at Oreilly. Just chrome lug nuts. They sell em in packs of four I think. Idk if they're 3/4" though. All I know is the tire iron that came with my truck fits them, and they look good.
Edit: I just saw you want open end lug nuts. Mine are closed end

Again almost any parts store should be able to pull up the wheel nuts you want whether its open, chrome or locking and not just what they have in stock.
