They have them in stock? If I known, I would've bought mines there instead of wheelers offroad, and wait a week and a half to get them. But I guess if I did get the lug nuts right away, I wouldn't of have scored a set of BFG AT's.

I called them! They want me to wait a few days before they get them in. Gorilla's factory is 10 minutes from my house but they don't sell to the public!

Re: Gorilla Lug Nuts

I called and they had them in stock. They normally sell a set of 5, but they made it 6 for me at no extra charge.

Just tell them exactly what you want. They have a few different types. Don't expect them know what you need.

Re: Gorilla Lug Nuts

Aloha everyone,

For my new FJ I'd like to replace the lugs w/ Gorilla lugs and locks. I've got the 16" alloy rims from the offroad package, and I think I need the black mag style lugs from what I read here. Do the normal mag lugs fit, or do they need to be the short shank ones? Because if they have to be short shank, I think I'm out of luck - I don't see short shank in black.

Thanks!

Bill

Re: Gorilla Lug Nuts

I am not sure but for the 17" alloy wheel there is no Gorilla Lug that works that I have been able to find. McGard makes the locking lugs for Toyota as the set I bought only had four locking lugs and I needed one for my spare and the service gave me their number and told me to call myself for the 5th lock. They are still about 8-10 dollars per locking lug even through McGard but I did not want an alloy wheel or worse the Nitto rubber on them to disappear.

Aftermarket wheels you can find the Gorillas easily...the oem wheels are the issue. Maybe if someone sends a picture or an extra lug to Gorilla they could make something or find a match from an older setup whether car or truck...

Re: Gorilla Lug Nuts

Soory guys, a bit confused...

Got some Moto Metal 951's on the way. Can anybody confirm if its the acorn or mag type for this wheel. 12x1.5 is a given, just the style is what I need.

Hoping to get black?

Thanks

Soo did anyone figure this out yet? I have the stock 17" alloys and just want a locking lug nut for each wheel to keep them on the truck especially the rear spare.
Anyone use Gorilla locks yet for the stock wheels?
