Default Lug nuts or caps

Hey everyone,
I have a 2012 Lariat with the chrome package. i just had it to the dealer for its first oil change and tire rotation. When i got home i noticed the plain lug nuts on the wheels. Did the dealer put on the wrong lug nuts or do they have chrome caps that they forgot to put back on? Id like to know before I call and complain. Thanks.

Default Lariet cast 18" wheels

I have a 2012 Lariet. I am going to attach a photo of my wheel. If yours looks like this, then it sounds like the caps are missing. Good luck.

Thanks for the help, but I have different wheels.... the ones that come with the chrome package. If I buy lug nuts, what type and size do I need? Thanks.

Best bet would be to go back to the dealership and ask for your nuts back. Sounds kinky, but anyway, you will not like the cost of replacing those factory lug nuts out of your own pocket. Good luck.

Just had my winter tires done/changed by the local Ford Dealer, they f'ed the chrome capped nuts. Guess what they replaced all 24 on warranty! Must have cost them a few bucks by having a cheese maker use the wrong impact socket on them. Check your nuts for damage and get them replaced on Ford's dime.

Thanks guys. I'll be contacting the dealer tomorrow to see what happened to my chrome lug nuts and also demand that they replace them.

I guess that is better than your wife keeping them in her purse.
