I have the MacGard, they are "blacker" than the wheels on my truck, and are way better than the "plain" ones it was delivered with. What were they thinking? Or not thinking.

Do you mean to torque them to 130 ftlb, drive it a bit then go around and check the lugs again with the torque wrench? Do you typically just do this once? I don't want my wheel running away on me...
Yes, I guess I should have mentioned that. Anytime you remove a wheel you will want to torque the lug nuts to 130ftlbs in our case and then after 50-60 miles recheck it. I’ve never had a lug come loose but there’s always a chance.

I got the McGard, but didn't purchase the Bulge Cone Set. This will
leave a Silver Ring around the Lug Nut from the wheel showing.

THESE are the ones I got for my Rebel.
Do you have the part number for these? Is there a locking lug mixed in with those? Couldn't tell from the picture.
I think those look a lot better than the ones we have standard on the Rebel. I need to change mine as well to this style
Thanks for any help.

Looks sorta goofy looking sticking out that far, wait till someone walks by the truck and takes one of those in their leg, Hell I'd stop down on them or use them to climb up onto the tires
