Just picked these up from Summtracing last night!!! to go on procomp 7089's !! DEPENDING ON WHAT RIMS YOU'RE YSING, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO GO WITH THE SIDE SPLINED TUNER LUGS FOR CLEARANCE!!!
thoughs are the one I gave the part number for. realy the reason I got them was for the clearance. As the hole is so dang tight with a normal lug nut and I had magger issuse with getting my old lug nuts on and off.

Re: Gorilla Lug Nuts

Another brand/option

The lug nuts are from American Racing and are closer to a gloss black finish.

The "Bull Lock" lock nuts are from a Japanese company called KYO EI industrial corporation and are geared towards the 4 cylinder Toyota/Honda market, but work just as well on my FJ. The finish is closer to a satin black. I bought 2 set with matching keys and put one on each rim and 3 on the spare. The lock lug key is thin walled and worked on my American Racing Chambers (17x9).

Re: Gorilla Lug Nuts

This is what did...I ordered the set of 4 locking lugs (Gorillas) from Wheeler's Off Road along w/ 22 of the black lugs (5 for each wheel & 2 for the spare) that they sell. Then I called Gorilla & had them ship me an extra lock (for the spare) that matched the key of the locks that I had.

Total price was around $55 w/ shipping...don't know if it's any cheaper to do it that way but that's how I handled it.

Re: Gorilla Lug Nuts

Depending on what wheels you have, you may need different nuts. I had to order locking nuts for mine (TrailReady Bead lockers) and it took about 3 weeks.

Re: Gorilla Lug Nuts

Anyone know if you need the Small diameter lugs for Moto metal wheels?

I've been informed I need the acorn style. 12x 1.5 13/16 hex acorn style

Re: Gorilla Lug Nuts

so you can just buy the black lugs with out the locking lugs? I've had bad experiences with locking lugs and keys breaking while trying to take wheels off = not fun.
