Lug nuts

Who here is the lug nut subject matter expert (SME)?
Apparently I have the cheap duplex fake lug nuts. I've been down this road before with a 1974 Olds Cutlass. The road dead ends with the fake sheetmetal covers stripping off the actual lug nut with an unknown size socket required. I hit my local Oreilly auto parts and they had Dorman "Duplex".
I need 9/16" X 18 TPI X 2.000" total length. I think 60 degree conical.
Seems deliberate lack of specifications on Amazon.
I might have to visit an after market wheel shop when I get back home.

I carry two sets of spare lug nuts because the lug nuts for the aluminum wheels won't work with the steel spare..

Surprisingly my spare wheel had the conical seats.
I sent an email to Dorman asking for a part #.

Looking like the duplex lug nuts are 7/8" and solids are 3/4". Makes sense.

Brent I can't help much but I had my tire dealer order me something like 40 of them and they were right....just don't know the specifics or where he got them.
