Orion Motor Tech 9/16"-18 Lug Nuts 32 pc Black Cone Seat — Cold-Forged, Heat-Treated

Orion Motor Tech 9/16"-18 lug nuts — a 32-piece blackened steel set with 60° conical seats and a socket key designed to replace or upgrade original wheel nuts on compatible Dodge, Hummer, and truck models.

When you need reliable wheel fasteners that match factory-style conical seating and thread pitch, this complete kit from Orion Motor Tech delivers a ready-to-install solution. The set includes thirty-two lug nuts, a matching socket key and printed instructions so you can refit all wheels quickly. Each nut is cold-forged, heat-treated and finished with a black-oxide coating to balance strength with corrosion resistance, and the parts have been subjected to industry-style proof load, salt spray, hardness and thread verification tests.

Which vehicles use 9/16"-18 cone seat lug nuts?

These lug nuts are manufactured to 9/16"-18 UNF threads and a 60° conical seat, matching the factory requirements of many Ram, Dakota, Hummer H1 and classic J20 applications. Confirm your vehicle's thread pitch and seat type before ordering to ensure proper fit and wheel seating.

• Compatible models: Dodge Ram 1500 (2002–2010), Ram 2500/3500 (1994–2011), Ram 2500/3500 Vans (1999–2003)
• Also fits Dodge Dakota (2005–2011) and Hummer H1 (2002–2006, excluding 2005)
• Fits older J20 trucks with 8-lug hubs (1974–1988)
• Thread spec: 9/16"-18 with 60° cone seat

How are these lug nuts built to last?

Each lug nut is formed from a single piece of premium steel using cold-forging for consistent grain structure, then heat-treated to increase tensile strength and wear resistance. A black-oxide surface finish improves corrosion resistance while preserving a low-profile, factory-compatible appearance.

• One-piece cold-forged construction for uniform strength
• Heat-treated to meet mechanical performance standards
• Black-oxide coating for improved rust resistance and aesthetics
• Each nut measures approximately 2" long by 0.91" wide

What testing and quality checks do these lug nuts undergo?

Orion Motor Tech performs multiple inspections to validate mechanical reliability and fitment accuracy. The nuts undergo proof load tests to confirm strength, thread inspections for compatibility, hardness checks for material properties, and salt spray exposure to assess coating durability.

• Proof load tests to ensure structural integrity under torque
• Thread verification for consistent 9/16"-18 engagement
• Hardness measurements to confirm heat-treatment results
• Salt spray testing to evaluate resistance to environmental corrosion

How simple is installation and what’s included?

The kit is designed for straightforward, shop- or DIY-friendly installation: use the included socket key to tighten or remove the nuts to the manufacturer’s recommended torque. The set contains enough nuts to replace all fasteners on dual-wheel or extended configuration vehicles that require 32 pieces.

• Includes 32 lug nuts and one matching socket key
• Printed instructions for basic installation guidance
• Designed for quick removal and reinstallation with standard impact or hand tools
• Intended for use where conical (60°) seat and 9/16"-18 thread are specified

Who is this for: This Orion Motor Tech lug nut kit is aimed at truck owners, fleet managers, restoration enthusiasts and mechanics who need a full replacement or spare set in 9/16"-18 with a 60° cone seat. It’s appropriate for people restoring older J20s, repairing Ram and Dakota wheels, or converting wheels that require blackened steel OEM-style lug nuts. Always verify thread pitch and seat type for your wheels or hubs before purchase.
