I bought a restored/polished set of original run American Racing Vector wheels for my Charger project that I need to purchase a set of lugnuts for.  These are direct bolt-on's and all will be right-hand thread.  I've read you need a mag style shank lug nut with a washer.  However, there appear to be a lot of different sizes out there.  I've also been told to get a set through Gorilla.  On a positive note, it looks like Gorilla makes a variety of lugnuts in black chrome which would look killer since the wheel is mostly powder coated black.

I know there are guys in here running these wheels on their General Lee's so any assistance is greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Not sure where you are located, but I have picked up several sets at Autozone and Pepboys for around $30. I think the thread is  1/2 x 20. Make sure they are not to long. I had some that looked just right but when tightened down the washer caved in just enough so the lug nut bottomed out and wheel was not tight. I used 2 washers on each lug and haven't had a problem.
I pointed to two old drunks sitting across the bar from us and told my friend
"That's us in 10 years".
He said "That's a mirror, dip-shit!

it also depends on how thick the rims is. I got a set on my car and I need 4 washers on the rear. 2 up front. I'd like to find some shorter ones. Mine came from O'Reillys.
