I have run Alcoa Mickey Thompson forged aluminum Challenger wheels on my TJ for nearly 20 years. Long out of production. The lug nuts were specials, hollow and outside threaded for the chromed plastic nut covers. Handsome when installed, very rare now. I have lost some covers and others are cracked and peeling.
These wheels are lug centric and use conical seat bulge nuts. A long search for modern replacements led me to the Gorilla site, and I gambled on the 41188HTs. Not wanting ever to search again, I bought a box of 100 on Amazon, which was not much more expensive than the best deal I could find for the minimum of 23 (20 on the ground, 3 on the spare). One piece rather then two and the same 13/16” hex as the Alcoas.
I tested them on my spare and they fit perfectly and looked quite good. Today, I put new tires on the Jeep with these lug nuts. No loss of appearance at all and they are much easier to deal with than the two piece Alcoas. Put a small box of spares in the Mopar saddle bag in back. Figured the few of y’all who run Alcoas might want to know.
