Gen 7 lug nuts??? Size?? Style???

Just curious as I looked on autozone.com (assuming I'd go there this weekend and pick some up) and they don't show any. (Well, some custom set for $79....pffffft)

Anyway, I'm assuming that if they have plain-jane nuts, they'll be cheap.

When I flushed my brake fluid this weekend, I noticed that the rear wheels had all the same common, open-type lug nuts, but then the fronts had a couple different versions. One wheel had the right thread, but 2 different socket sizes. Then the other side, one of 'em was a chrome, cap-style nut.

It's not a huge deal, but I'd like to get 'em all the same. I've got some slight shaking in the steering wheel over 65mph on the freeway and before I get the wheels balanced, I'd like to get "same" style lug nuts all the way around to avoid any possible balance offset there. (the chromed cap nut for example, is a long sucker!) LOL!!

TIA

Wow!! So maybe lug nuts are as hard to acquire as those little air intake box clips???

Somb#$#$^......I thought this stuff was easy. Guess I'll just show up down at Autozone & if they don't have standard lug nuts available, I'll just have to hop over the counter & start beatin' people??
