    I replaced all of mine a few years ago with McGard lugs from Summit Racing. You can get some that look just like OEM. I don't have the part numbers handy right now, but I can do a search if you're interested.

    edit: The part number is 64012.

    x2, CobraJet; and I concur with the Dubster on not buying poor quality lugnuts from eBay (BTW; I'm glad the Dubster likes his nuts, as I like mine too ). Buy aftermarket lugnuts only from a reputable source like Summit Racing (S.R. only sells top-notch quality products and guarantees what they sell). Summit Racing would be my only source!!!

    X3 what CobraJet said. I bought some black lug nuts from McGuard that looked just like the Isuzu OEM's. Got some wheel keys to match too. High quality, and haven't had a problem with them. You can get them other places than Summit, and usually cheaper. Think I got mine from Amazon.

    Guess I'm getting a few sets from Summit. BTW, the warranty on the McGuard Nuts (summit item# 64012) is:

    McGard warrants its products against manufacturer defects for a period of one year after the date of purchase. Lug nuts carry a lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The chrome plating on the lug nuts is warranted for life not to chip, peel, or rust under normal use and care.

    On the long list of things to do, this one is now checked off, I'm sold.

    Thanks ya'll
