I just picked up my wheels that I bought a month ago, and in a side note they are the nicest I've ever seen! But I dont know what lug nuts you are supposed to use with them? Are there special ones for these wheels?
Also, how is a person supposed to pop the hub caps off after they are installed on the truck? Pry bar? I'm afraid of scuffing the hub cap or the wheel.

We're talking the single rear wheels right? Not dually wheels. If so use the same lugs as the steel wheels. I use a small pry bar with a towel against the wheels to remove the caps.

The ones on my CC are (IIRC) 7/8" (socket) acorn style. Look at the wheels where the lugs go . There should be a steel insert(like a vlave seat) that the lugs contact.
