IMHO...

Gorilla locks are the way to go. All others are cheap imitations.

lol, i have had both! mcgard is a better buy take a look at a set in person and you will see the difference

I got mine from Summit a few years ago. Its nice knowing that if someone wants to steal the rims, it won't be easy getting them off.

[RF Overlord]

I knew Phoebe would be getting her summer shoes soon, and the lugs were getting a bit shabby, so I did some research.

Phoebe came with Gorilla locks, so I checked with them first. Seems there are two versions of the non-locking lug. One is called "Acorn" (71187) and the other is called "Acorn Bulge" (91187). They are both a 60° cone seat, but the Acorn Bulge has a slightly larger diameter and is the more correct lug as it exactly matches the OEM lugs on The Blackbird.

The locking type only comes in the "Bulge" version. P/N 71681N

So what did you get?

[SamF]

Bulge is correct for our wheels (and most aluminum wheels)

Bulge is correct for our wheels (and most aluminum wheels)That's what I bought.

I'm glad I did the research as Phoebe had the non-bulge lugs from a previous owner and I would have replaced them with the same had I not compared them with the factory lugs from The Blackbird.

I'm not sure why it matters. We've driven Phoebe with the "wrong" lugs almost 4 years and 40,000 miles, swap the wheels every spring & fall, and never had a lug nut-related issue.
