The factory wheel lugs have a thin covering on them that moves on the lug and frequently gets stuck in the lug wrench forcing them to be punched out of the socket, it slows me down, a distraction and damages the cover.
So I replaced them with solid stainless steel lug nuts.
I needed to know the specs of the lugs so I could order them, the dealers in my area acted like I was asking for a controlled substance when I explained what I was looking for. After my upgrade, the lugs went from 19mm to 13/16 socket size.
So this is what I determined I needed -
1/2"-20 thread x 7/8" diameter cone x 1-5/8" height
