These are as close as I could get now that I'm on the couch.
I'm pretty sure only you are going to know that

timtoolman - Where can I get a set of locking nuts for the 22" limited rims? Got a set from Ford and much to long , they are made be Mcguard , I'd rather have the gorilla. Type , seems the 22 rims are unique. The 2 mentioned companies. Don't list any for the 22's
The only thing "unique" about FoMoCo 22" F-150 rims is that they're only offered on a select few models - Limited, Harley Davidson.

Regarding locking lug nuts (all brands) ...
*25+ years of experience speaking.
.
- if they (being them) want the wheels bad enough, they're gone. *easy to circumvent.
. - they're a PITA to remove. *due to the nuts being either small diameter, stretched-out/rounded keys, cumbersome keys, etc., etc., etc..
. - key(es) go missing. *now you're resorted to the borrower's method used in #1 above -AND- buying replacements.
. - they're a PITA.
. - they're only effective against the honest people.
. - they're a PITA.

etc., etc., etc..

I've inadvertently climbed all over my '13, loading tools, etc into the bed, rocking the truck pretty good, only to realize that the truck was locked/alarm set. Never went off. As I understand it the factory alarms do not have a shock sensor. I have also heard that one can be activated is one wishes.

Why lock your truck? It's just as easy to break in using your logic,

Seeing as how FoMoCo uses the same lug nuts for the 22" rims as they do for the 17"|18"|20" the same would apply for the aftermarket offerings. *Personally recommend (and currently use on SEVERAL vehicles) Gorilla. The only thing "unique" about FoMoCo 22" F-150 rims is that they're only offered on a select few models - Limited, Harley Davidson. .

Where have you searched? With the thousands of 20+ inch rims out there there has got to one set that fits.
I looked on Amazon quickly and they list quite a bit.
I'm not saying these fit exact, but they've got to be out there.

timtoolman - Wrong,! Lug nuts are not the same from 22" and 20 " and 18" rims as I have had a 12 xlt, 13 platinum and now a 14 Limited.
- 4L3Z-1012-A - All models (and diameters) EXCEPT Lariat Limited
- 6L3Z-1120-BA - Lariat Limited
