I've done some research and found that the thread pattern for the 2015 Taurus is 1/2" -20 is this correct?

I want to get some black lug nuts to go with the black wheels I will be ordering, and to have locking lug nuts since I didnt pay for the ford ones.

I found these, will they work?

I know they arent really ford brand...

What about these?

Also are our lug nuts the same as the 2010 + Mustang? Thanks! If so I would probably want to order these

It sounds about right and you can check these for reference,also are the locking nuts black to match the setup?  Z       http://www.amazon.com/DPAccessories-D3142P-2308-20-Painted-Closed/dp/B00JJ66B9A/ref=sr_1_4?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1445480145&vehicle=2013-54-697-732--1-6-6-19548-2173-1-1-2832--4-0&sr=1-4&ymm=2013%3Aford%3Ataurus&refinements=p_72%3A1248861011

The black will be to match the setup as well as for the security of it, I found out just now from American Muscle that the wheels require the spline set up but that the mustang ones are the same bolt thread so it should work. Thanks for the help also!

Pretty sure BiGMaC had a post somewhere on the ones he uses on his '13.  Gorilla?  Just have to find it ...

Thanks, I have had their lugs on my mustang for a while and they are pretty good quality!
