Alcoa lug nut covers – found good price

April 20, 2016, 11:26:21 pm

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

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.

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:
