go straight to the mcgard site, they have a search tool that let's you search by thread size, or color, or socket size, etc. get the # for the one you want and look on Amazon, just type in mcgard (your #) in the search bar.
I also sourced mine from Amazon and got them shipped to the UK.

At the time it was MUCH cheaper for me than sourcing gorillas locally - I also believe the McGards stand up to winter / wet / salt better than the gorillas :like:

I change out my lug nuts on all my vehicles as soon as I can. I've bought cheap Chinese nuts before and they chip and start to rust pretty quickly. I have probably close to 100 14x1.5 nuts from stockers to cheap Chinese ones and even some spline drive ones. after my wife got her new bronco sport, I pulled out some black Chinese nuts to put on it, turns out the new bronco sport has a smaller 12x1.25 thread size, so I had to order a complete set and locks just for that car.

I only made the video because some dude on here told me I was talking out of my arse and couldn't hold a spanner (or similar wording) ... :giggle:
Of all the people on the forum to accuse of that, I'd have never thought it would be towards you, WD. You always seem incredibly knowledgeable when I read your posts.

I’ll have to check out the McGards. Thanks for the info!
Assuming they use the same lug nuts on the Mach as they did my GT, definitely recommend replacing them. I"ve got these for my winter wheels, which are stock PP1.

Even as a newbie the first thing I understood was replacing the lug nuts. It is really unfortunate that Ford insists on the plated design when it has been proven to be a long term nightmare. Whatever you choose from the solid metal piece offerings will be better (I chose the Gorilla nuts as they go well with my wheels).
