OK maybe they have been repainted but they look to have been more semi-gloss now that they are clean and next to the powder coated wheel.

Here it is.

Thanks Matt, I really appreciate your effort ! That pic brings up another question, what lugs were original?
Thanks

Mine had the open long style like Matt has on his. Isn't there a cover that goes over the lug nuts themselves?

Does anyone have a source for the sleeved lugs? I have never seen any for sale. I think they are harder to find than the center caps.

I maybe of some help here. The sleeved lug nuts were the same across the board for all Fords with the optional wheels. My F-150 has them, and I think that Ford still stocks this part. So, it might cross to the Mustang...

Just MHO.

David,

Can you post up a pic of yours for comparison?

I would, but I am a bit disabled when it comes to posting pics. I'm still learning and will get there some day. Just not too high on my priority list right now. I take a break at work and get on the pc for some posting- mostly reading. Then back to work. Same at home. I am the remodeling contractor and only mover for the work at home...so not much joy at the pc there either. I did get a digital camera for last Christmas, and have learned a few things out of necessity. Just not quite to the point that I would put anything up just yet...

I hope that you're right.
