Default Quick lug nut question

Do these two wheels use the same lug nuts? Discount tire having issues getting what I have after damaging my wheels and willing to get these but I don't know if they use the same lug nuts.

Bet you they are putting on aftermarket lugnuts and not Ford. Can't tell you anything from the pics, from what I know and understand all Ford lugnuts except for the Tremor package are all 21mm (socket size) chrome.

Tell them you will get them from ford and expect to be paid. They damaged my wifes aftermarket caps, fortunately they were able to buy but they made me the offer for me to get and be paid!

There are 2 types of lug nuts (not including locking) ...
  1. exposed - have a stainless steel cap and are used with rims that show the lug nuts.
  2. covered - are not capped and are used with rims that have center caps that cover (and attach-to) the lug nuts.
