Default Gorrilla lug nuts

Hi,

So, I finally had enough of the plastic covers dissapearing!!, so want to replace the lug nuts.

I would like black stainless/chrome, with one locking nut for each ws6 wheel.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I need acorn style, and the size is 12 x 1.50

After reading on here, I hear Gorrilla lug nuts are good, but I find their website rather confusing.

I hope someone be so kind as to point out which ones I need?

Any help will be much appreciated,
Many thanks,
Paul.

Mc Gard makes black chrome lugs in our size. Not sure about Gorilla.

When I bought my car it had 5 different kinds of lug nuts on them. 4 types were locking ones I didn't have the key for. That was a lot of fun. The best part was the guy at the Discount Advanced Auto store telling me I couldn't get them off. Well, the 1/4 inch drive socket family and Mr. 3lb mini sledge said I could.

Thanks for the replys everyone.
Guess I'll buy from a more 'user friendly' website, thanks for the heads up.

Beaflag VonRathburg, that sounds like a bit of a nightmare, glad to hear you got it sorted out. Shows what the guy at Discount Advanced Auto store knows huh!

Default Gorrilla Lugs

I have the lugs you are talking about. I got them from O'Reilly's some time ago. I think they were right around 45$. I love them. Once you take a look at them they really aren't all that confusing.... Plus they really look great with my ZR1's. I bought all 20 just to make everything look right, but I think they are absolutely great!

Got em installed this weekend (long postage to UK), from Summit.

I got to say the black chrome finish from Gorilla isn't bad, but it's not perfect either. Tom Z wheels did warn me about this possible imperfection, but I wanted black!!

Thanks for the help guys.
