We purchased 20 new OEM Alcoa lug nut covers for our Stud-Piloted Budd-Nut wheels from CB World.
They have identical Alcoa p/n 000150 identifications on the inside as our original caps with the same inside metal bracket.
Alcoa caps are also called Hug-A-Lug.
Some of our original covers must have got tired and decided to leave us, so now we have many spares.
Alcoa p/n 000150 is assigned Barjan product code 0486150.
$1.32 each, no shipping & no tax, purchased March 24.
CB World sells through WestCoastMall.net
0486150 Alcoa Bulk 1.5 Inch Hex Lug Nut Cover, WestCoastMall.net (http://www.westcoastmall.net/barjan-0486150-alcoa-bulk-15-inch-hex-lug-nut-cover-p-2959.html?osCsid=m2kfl0uotcqagerkshetl5kqe3)
I see today that their price is $1.99. Don't know why the price increased from $1.32.
They arrived evenly stacked & well protected in a sturdy package.
Thanks Barry! I've been looking for quite a while and the best price I've found has been $3.50! I just ordered 50.
see ya

Hey Ken & Dori, now your beautiful coach will have a new set of pretty's on their wheels. Glad we shared our find.
Barry & Cindy
Raneystruckparts.com has 1-1/2" chrome plated steel nut covers for $1.50 each. Also, a few varieties of shapes.
Thanks Barry!!
I just ordered 10, good price!
Now you tell me :-( I just ordered 3 from Haltec. 800-321-6471 I think $4.50 plus first class mail.
Response from Alcoa:
"The 000185 is the correct part number for a single nut cover. The 01851 is for a pack of 10. You can purchase them individually at Haltec. 800-321-6471. If you have any questions in doing so please let me know.

Mike & Ellen, Yes there are different types (& sizes) of lug nuts & covers. There are also several styles of Alcoa wheel hub caps. Sorry you got the wrong ones.
Earlier coaches like ours also use Budd nuts which are two-piece for the duals. One needs to know if the wheel stud and nut are Budd style as they are normal-right-turn on right side, but reversed-left-turn on left side with a "L" stamped in the stud. When a tech with a big air gun drives off the left side nuts, without paying attention, they can permanently damage the stud in less than a minute if they set the gun to left turn wanting to loosen the nut, but end up over-tightening the nut and yielding (stretching) the stud threads.
Budd nuts use 1-1/2" push-on covers. Other styles also use push-on and some use thread-on covers. Here is a list of popular covers:
