Early dakota lug nuts - 05/19/23 11:22 PM
So I got the factory wheels on my 92 dakota, look like a 5 spoke chrome steel wheel with the spokes slightly slanted and they look a lot like the heavier doody trucks but the center cap looks like it is supposed to pop on over the lug nuts but I can't find the right lug nuts, is there a source for them new or somebody know where I can get a used set?

If these are the wheels I'm thinking of, the caps go under the lug nuts. The bulge seat nuts are just a little bigger than the holes in the caps.

nope it's a chrome dome with no holes and a stamped in ram head and it just snaps over the lug nuts if you have the correct lug nuts.
