Can anyone post or send a photo that shows the proper lugnut for the Alcoa's? I'm not sure that the Mag Lugs with the shank will work for these, and the ones JimK has are tapered with a not so shiny washer. I assumed the face was supposed to be flat, like the OEM lugnuts.

They look like this http://appliedgmc.com/prod.itml/icOid/945

and you can put a cover on them, Alcoa or otherwise..

The Alcoa's have an integrated washer as shown. You can't interchange those with OEM or the Eagles.

That is why they command high prices.

I don't mind paying for a lugnut. I wish the Alcoa's were like the Eagle's I have. Nice chrome plated, no covers to lose.

Chris,
I have Eagle 034's that the PO installed in about 2005. The chrome cracks when a wrench is applied, likely a few air guns too, so mine were rusty when I got the coach. Same for the chrome axle cap.

I would rather have the replaceable plastic caps.

You may not have to worry about it here in AZ Chris, but I've seen those chrome lug nuts rust before your eyes.

Yeah I have had them before, and have them on my truck, but they are fine here.
