    Would they be okay for my standard wheels? Also what do you do about the locking nut?

    How many times have you taken the wheels off to cause this?

    Could you not buy those in chrome but use the original locking one?

    The ad does say aftermarket alloys only, but im sure there aint no difference in ford and aftermarket alloy nuts can they be?? They would have to be the same size and length the only difference i guess would be the angle on the end of them aftermarket a use 60'deg tapers on them i dunno if ford alloys use the same taper or not
