So i managed to screw up my lugnuts by using a 3/4' socket instead of a 19mm because i thought the Focus ST was English instead of metric like an idiot.

I am looking for new lugnuts but dont know what to get or where to get them.

Does anybody know where i can get stock lugnuts from other than a dealer as the dealer is pricing me at $7.10 each.

I would prefer to keep my lugnuts stock just as i like my car with the stock look.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A quick google search shows me that CarID and a few other places carry stock/close to stock replacements. Kits of 4 lugnuts for 7-11 dollars or so. Buy 5 kits and you're good to go.

Other places that were on my Google search: cjponyparts & summit racing -- Both I would recommend

Type in this part # on Autozone or Oreily. Should be under $4 each. Dorman Product OE Style.

You don't want the stock lug nuts anyway. The breakage that I am guessing you had from using the wrong size socket is the same damage that you will see over time using the right size one with the lug nuts that Ford uses (cap crimped onto a nut). Amazon stocks several options for the Focus. I personally prefer McGard lug nuts, but they are a little more expensive than basic lug nuts. I have never used them, but I believe Gorilla lug nuts are typically a decently reviewed and reasonably priced alternative.

+1 for Gorilla lug nuts. Used them for a long time on my old ZX3 and never had any issues. They come with a special "tuner key," but the splines actually fit a regular socket, I just forget which size.

Also, to OP, unless you're running extended neo chrome or some other flashy color, I don't see why putting aftermarket lug nuts is going to mess with the "stock look."

Usually 17mm or 3/4 head size on the key.

You can buy 12x1.5 bulge acorn 60° conical lug nuts from just about anywhere. I just purchased these a while back: Set of 20 Lug Nuts 12x1 5 Black Acorn Bulge M12x1 5 Thread Steel Lug Nut | eBay

If you like spending money you can go buy fancy $80 aluminum nuts from one of the vendors. Personally, I think the cheap steel ones work just fine.

I have a complete spare set of good condition OEM lugs in my garage I'll sell for $30+ shipping. Just let me know.

FYI, you never want to use an impact to put on the OE "skinned" lug nuts. Be gentle, torque wrench them to 100ft/lbs without a hammering motion, and they'll last forever.

Already ordered a black set of cheapos for $15 just needed 1 lugnut to replace a missing one from a set of winter wheels I just bought. Didnt realize it was missing 1 until the last lug and had to use my oem chrome one which really stands out bad.. measure twice cut once shouldve counted em before i started doh!

So I got my lug nuts and they look nothing like the stock lugs as far as tapering into the hole on the rim. I wonder if it's better just to use the oem ones.

I can't tell from the picture what angles those are, but as long as they are the same angle and not smaller than the hole in the wheel they should work fine. The stock nuts are very wide, while aftermarket are usually much skinnier. However, I've had aftermarket lugnuts that look like those black ones on my car for 2 years with no issue
