I have a Windsport, but it's pretty similar to your Ace. My front wheel covers only have 3 threaded lugs...the rest are just there to look pretty.

That is correct, 3 per wheel on 10 lug wheels.

So, of course once you have the three off the whole cover should come off pretty easily and then you’ll see all ten “real” lug nuts. The decorative ones stay on the cover.

He is referring to the whole hubcap as the cover.

Where can you buy these lug nuts. Camping world thinks it's ford, since it's a ford platform, but I have my doubts.

Doubt no more. If you have a Ford chassis you have Ford lugnuts unless you have custom wheels.

Those are wheel simulator nuts, not wheel lug nuts. If you take the wheel simulator off, you will see the real lug nuts. The lug nuts on the 19.5" steel wheels should be torqued to 150 Ftlbs.
The closest simulators to what I have is Cal Custom CAL-7511665R. If you just need a wheel simulator nut, try google.
