A few of my stock lugs are pretty much rounded, so I need a new set. Checking ebay, I came across these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Whee...temQQimsxZ20090122?IMSfp=TL0901221710007r9963

Is that my best (or only) option or is there something better to prevent the problem from happening again? I think I read somewhere about Chrysler Sebring lugs being better?

I have the '01 5-spoke 17" chromes in case that makes any difference
 
You can get new lugs at any parts store. Be sure to use some grease or anti seize when you put the nuts back on.
 
yep. A couple different options. For my aftermarket 19's, I got a set at carquest. 12x1.5 acorn style I believe.

The ones on my stock wheels are from a Sebring. I'll look up the part number.
 
Here you go. Part # is MB579290 and you can get them at your local Chrysler shop for under $5 each. Order the ones for build dates after 4/1/97.

I talked the parts guy down to 3.74 each. I figure I got a fair deal.

Spend the cash and get a set like these. You wont be disappointed and they will never round.
 
Lug Nuts

I bought those exact lug nuts off ebay for my stock chrome rims......no problems at all! Cheaper than any parts store.....

they are tuner lugs ( as mentioned previously ) and you can find them at almost any place that sells lugs. I cant comment on a good place cause mine came with my wheels.

those arent a good choice for stock wheels, the stock wheels need a flat seat lug nut, these are sold at any autoparts store. for about 30 bucks.
 
They are a great choice. Find the ones with a flat seat, that pic is just a generic pic not of the actual lugs you would want to find:D
 
O'Reilly's Auto Parts has exact replacements to the OEM ones for $0.99. each
 
For 10$ more you can get the lugs I am talking about and not worry about the often cheap OEM quality:)
 
Go with the Sebring lug nuts. They look great! But you have to put the right socket in your cars tool box, as they are different from the stockers...3/4" I believe, but dont bank on that...
