I’m hunting for OEM lug nuts for steel wheels, but Ford wants $10 each. That’s ridiculous.

You could try finding the part number and checking eBay for deals.

Not much cheaper there. Most listings are rusty and not worth it. I think I’ll just go for something similar at an auto parts store.
@Halston
Try Dorman parts on Amazon. They’re usually cheaper than the store.

Amazon limits you to six per customer, and the total savings wasn’t great. Ended up getting 15 from O’Reilly for $60.
I had my tires replaced last summer, and the shop said my lug nuts were bad on my 2017 Escape. They charged me $50 to replace all of them. At the time, I thought it was a scam. Is this just another common Ford issue?
@Lane
Definitely not a scam. Same thing happened to me with my Fusion. Except my shop didn’t have spares, so I had to walk to AutoZone and buy some myself. $50 for new ones is pretty reasonable.

Good to know! Thanks for explaining 
Even 5 cents adds up when you’re selling millions of cars. Not saying it’s right, but it’s probably why they cheap out.
Ford doesn’t even make the lug nuts—they just buy them from suppliers. It’s a known issue, though, so I swapped mine out as soon as I bought the car.
