I've done searches on here but can't find an answer to this question:
'68 RR, putting on Wheel Vintiques 15" black steel wheels. Is the 1.38" Dorman lug nut on Summit RNB-611-153 the correct length?
Please and thank you.

Thanks. As long as they are period correct, I'm not too worried about it being exact. I love the A12 look. Are the ones you attached a pic of on Summit? Are they RNB-611-155?

I tried attaching a pic of the 2nd one I mentioned because it looks different and very close to the one you said. If that is an official mopar perf repro lug nut you showed me, it means spending $140 on lug nuts. The ones on Summit (RNB-611-155) will be close to appearance and cost $46 for 20.
Thank you for your help.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I found a lower cost replacement on yearone that is nearly identical in appearance AND 1.38". Looking to get 10 RH and 10 LH. https://www.yearone.com/Product/chrysler-b-body/mrg1442lh#ONE MORE QUESTION I've never replaced the wheels or taken them off. Are the driver side ALL left hand thread? My car is in storage for the winter so I can't go check. Looking to order soon so I appreciate the input!

Stumpy has a point, who knows what happened over the years, not uncommon to replace the LHT studs with RHT.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Good point. I'll put in a call and see if I can get that answered where it's stored. Thanks.

Heard back from where my car is stored. After 49 years the drivers side still appears to be LH thread. Lug nuts ordered from year One. Black steel wheels to be ordered from Summit next, redlines from Diamondback already ordered.
Thanks again guys.
