Not a worry brotha, that's how we all share information and learn!
Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I always hand-torque my wheels after a bad experience fusing a socket to lug nut using an impact on a Camaro. Lift is going on this weekend so I'll give the Gorillas another shot when the wheels go back on. If they don't work, I'll take a closer look at the Mcgards that @Focker recommended.

Edit: What torque specs does everyone use? I've seen posts saying that the stock 130 lb-ft is too much and 100 lb-feet is fine.

130 ft lbs for me, that's the designated spec for the larger 14mm studs, it seems excessive, but those are some big nuts, lol.
