    Where is best place to buy ralley wheel lug nuts?  Don't care about restoration correctness, just need ones that will work.

    I bought a set of Gorilla locking lugs nuts several years ago through Summit Racing for our '98 GT which became my sons daily driver 6-years ago.
     They looked very good new and have held up well with no rust like I'd experienced with others.
    They make standard as well  but only in Right Hand Treads if that's an issue for you

    I know you already got yours, but I'll add that I've been very happy with the set of Gorilla lug nuts from Summit, too.  Would definitely buy them again.

    Classic "It depends" answer.  I'm not sure the year Chrysler swiched to all rh wheel studs, but my 70 Roadrunner has rh & lh, my 73 used all rh threads. What year is your car?  There's also the possibility that a previous owner switched to all rh so have you had your wheels off?  You probably want to take one lug off each wheel just to be sure unless its a later year like mine.

    The theory was the left handed lug nuts would stay tightened as the car moved forward. The left handed lug nuts were on the driver's side of the car.
