Why is it impossible to buy wheels and lug nuts anymore??

Long story short is the Explorer needs some TLC with some new tires and wheels for the upcoming HRDW shenanigans. Originally I had planned to find some 18x10-10.5 with 22-30 of positive offset with some drag radials... Outside of Summit/Jegs, forget about trying to find anything and that includes the local shops. Did everyone forget how to program a database or did overbearing lawyers drive it all away?

I know that M14x1.5 is the new oddball lug stud size, but did everyone forget to make lug nuts in something other than acorns? I mean I need long shank cragar style mags for a set of wheels I own... $24 for a pack of 4 and 4 phone calls later I have 4 of them.

WTF or am I just an old hoarder?

I had a tough time finding OEM style M12x1.5 acorn style lug nuts for a Honda recently. Cone shaped tuner lugs were everywhere. I had to buy Chinese ones "designed in America".

I've had good experiences with Otis Inc LA (otisincla.com) for weird lug nuts. Good selection and I appreciated that they list the ball radius.

Lug Nut Guys  Several of the YouTubers I watch swear by them, not at them.

Vote Lugnut Guys, they are great

Rockauto has a huge selection of lug nuts and studs.
