Wes can you recommend any good closed end locking lugnuts? All the ones I see are the cheap "chrome" dipped ones and would not put them on my car.

Gorilla.

A set of McGard came w/ my MM (I am the second owner). The locker on the Drivers Front stripped out! It was such a PITA to get out!!! I feel the design of the Gorillas are FAR superior for holding the Torque Forces.

Remember the recommended torque value...manually is 100 plus or minus a couple... ft lbs... No air guns or electric wrenches please...

...I just wish the chrome caps on our stock lugs wouldnt fall off...always been a gripe of mine. Anyone know of some solid ones to replace them ?

I do like those Gorillas too...

:cool:

Glenn has some. I believe they came from McGard.

All five lock. External spline. No balance issues. No stripping.

Hmm, looks like I'll be getting the Gorilla's from Summit, part number GOR-71683N correct? Thanks guys for your input.
