Default OEM lug nut replacement source?

The tin cover on a couple of the OEM lugnuts are starting to crack, thus the nut inside is rusting and staining my wheels. And the 22mm wrench needs to be hammered on to keep from rounding them off. Everybody sells lug nuts, but not as many have m14 x 2 and no place I can find has them w/ 22mm wrench size like the OEM ones. Why are they so hard to find? Not interested in locks or fancy wierd shapes. I don't care if they are chrome or have a tin shell. I just want the same deep closed-end nuts that use the same wrench that came with the truck without having to cash in my IRA. Help.

On my 2018 I used these and they are a perfect fit and size match to OEM. Factory wrench also works on them. Set of 24 runs about $70 on eBay.

Gorilla lug nuts
Model 61148CX
Factory Style Bulge
14mm X 1.50 X 1.

Like others said, get the McGards. Relatively inexpensive and good quality.
