The lug nuts are exsposed chrome I assume. My longhorn rims the lugs are not covered by a center cover. Tire guy just told me I cant run aftermarket lug nuts as The longhorn have a specific taper and you cant run anything but Dodge lug nuts........and @ $15.87 each from Dodge.....kinda gay!!!

Where do you live? I'll run down to the shed and make sure I still have them but they might work if you just need stock wheel nuts. Maybe check dodge online and see if the part number is differst

The longhorn is a different part #..accually there is two for 2012 Longhorn depending on what wheel option..I guess.

are you sure, I just went through this, the only diff is in 2012 they started using metric instead of standard.

Get ahold of a wrecker.... Should be some chrome acorn nuts kicking around off a dodge 3500 with the chrome wheels

I'll try that I'm not sure what they even look like. Ill cruise by the dealership and take a pic I guess. Here's the wheels

No Im not sure.. The guy at Canada custom Veh said I have to use Dodge only nuts as the taper is differant and he only stocks aftermarket nuts for aftermarket wheels.... I phoned every wreaker in red deer and a few in Edmonton with no luck. I went to the dealer and they cant seam to find them ether. They are calling HQ on monday but so far it looks like $17 each from dodge. But Im going to a different tire shop on tuesday to see what they have

When the 13 3500's came out there was a shortage of the LH wheel and some of them had the same as the 12 laramie's put on the truck.

well if thats the case you can buy new studs and nuts a lot cheaper, but my wheels are still on. go buy a metric lug nut and see. take it to your local tire shop, they will tell you in about 30 seconds.

Studs are not the problem it's the wheel stud hole has a dodge bat chit crazy taper, it's proving to be difficult . But I think kal tire has a set of nuts $9 each find out tomorrow
