I have a 98 Dodge ram 3/4 ton and my friend gave me his aluminum premium rims from his 2001. Also the center caps. What I can't find is the four special lug nuts for each rim that hold the center caps?... The caps have four grabbing paws that grabbed four of the lug nuts and I'm assuming there some kind of fatter mushrooms shaped??..
appreciate if anybody knows what I'm talking about if they even have a picture of them so I can see what they look like? I called the local wrecking yards and only one said they'd get back to me but never did. I may try going down there tomorrow but I would really like to be able to put these nicer aluminum rims on my track. They are Factory upgrades and a little bit wider..
Thank you for everybody's help and experience..

It's a hexed open end lug that those clip on. I have them on my truck. I don't know if I can take a picture of them in the dark.

I have a customer who has a 2500 and he doesn't put the hub caps on and all eight of the lug nuts I think would it accept the covers....

So basically I have to send you 16 of my lug nuts and you can send me 16 of yours and we'll be all good? LOL...

LOL....I think they hold on to 5 of the lugs?? Pretty sure... :D I bet you could go to a pick n pull and get them all for next to nothing.

I'm not sure, I was just thinking about that the Pick-n-Pull takes the rims off the cars and puts them up on LOL welded rims..
And in post 5 you can clearly see it holds onto four of the 8 lug nuts...
