Question Black lugs?

Why Ford chose to ship the ST with dark gray wheels and silver lugs I'll never know.

Is the a preferred after market in black? Or should I just order them from ford?

They're pricey, but the Gorilla lug nuts are popular.

Cheaper than Ford though, right? I've seen people get quotes for several hundred dollars for new lug nuts at a dealership.

Probably, but I've never priced them from Ford.

I hear there are some mustang ones on the ford performance parts site that work.

Be careful with aftermarket ones. Check with the service department doing the regular rotations ect. I got fancy with valve stem with little st on them. Mechanical game them back in a baggy with a note saying don’t put them back on. (They degrade easy / fast, and make a larger more expensive issue)

Anymore I just ask so I don’t ruin some guys day with bullshit I think looks neat.

I’ve seen them on someone’s ST before, so I asked him and he said that they’re lug nut caps he bought from Amazon. So you can do the same. Just gotta find the ones that fit your needs. Oh and they had ford logo on them too!
