I have finally got my hands on a set of stock steel wheels. Now I need lug nuts. Where can I find stock open end lug nuts? What size are they?

Should be 1/2" thread size. Don't remember if the hex is 3/4" or 13/16" on the stockers, but that might not matter except for a religious points-centric restoration.

I would think that any wheel place could supply some. I know I have a few old ones laying around from before I wanted fancy, but they would not be very nice condition for new wheels.

Check with a local tire store to see what they have.
Otherwise, even though not stock my go-to lug nut is a "bulge seat" open ended nut which is available just about any supplier.
I just like the way they look.

I'll say any quality parts store should have them.
I had Dorman Brand most of the time & I had several different ones .
My Parts store was a Great Mom & POP's style part store. The warehouse I bought 98% of my stuff from.
He'd send me stuff he'd repoed from other stores across Texas . all but free. Something like Lug nuts he'd might charge me a penny a piece for them . & I'd inventory them & Give them a part number .. With no restock value in the computer SO I'd not reorder them . But If I sold 20 of the at .92c each & I'd only gave a penny for them . It cleared most of the other stuff that I kept for quite a while . But it was free when it sold.
... So I might have had lug nuts with 3/4 outside hexs & 7/8 & maybe even 15/16 s ... I had 2 employees that under stood my plan to make a dollar..
... Sure wish I had my parts store back.

I’ve bought lug nuts from rock auto before. Cheap and lots of choices.
