Default Lug nuts

While I'm waiting for my new rear end to make it's way to me, I've decided to get some new lug nuts; the ones I currently have just don't look to great with my new wheels and tires (they look dull with bits of rust).

Does anyone know what size these lug nuts are (for a '98)?

My biggest concern, however, is if anyone knows where I can find lug nuts that are still made in USA; if I can help it, I want to keep it as American as possible.

But your car was made in Canada...

You could also get lug nut caps/covers (the plastice ones) and paint them whatever color you want.

I'd rather have fully coated lug nuts; I've seen the ones with the caps and they weren't that impressive to me. I'll check out that website though, thanks a bunch for that!

...maybe my car *was* made in Canada, I don't know. But I'm American, and I'm gonna force my car to convert! >

They should be 12mm-1.5. That was the size for my 98

Do you guys think colored lug nuts would look good? I'm going to paint my calipers, so I was wondering if I should put lug nuts on that match my calipers, or if I should just go with chrome lugs nuts to match the chrome trim on my wheels (black with chrome).

Get the plastic caps -- helps reduce corrosion greatly...

Check ebay if you don't care about new ones...

I was looking on ebay - I saw some that were chrome lug nuts, but had a colored plastic cap on the ends of them, if that's what you're talking about? I really wasn't into the way that they looked; I would like the ones that are one solid color.

Gonna paint my calipers blue (going with blue, black and white throughout my car), so I'm tossing up either between blue lug nuts and chrome ones.

My brother is with osduck - he thinks chrome as well.
