Chrome Locking Lug Nuts

[JoeValkIS]

If you are looking for Locking Lug Nuts, I would like to make a suggestion on the ones I have just ordered. They are the Gorilla 96641DX5. It is a pack of 5 Spline Type Locking Lug Nuts...like this...

The only place that I know has them is Summit Racing. The price is $31.99 plus shipping. Since I had ordered my exhaust from Summit, I was able to add the lug nuts to my order and got shipping for free. It was going to be $9.99 for shipping if I had ordered just the lug nuts.

Now the back story...I looked most of the afternoon yesterday for spline type locking lug nuts and couldn't find a pack of 5 in Chrome. So, I emailed Gorilla to see what they had available for the JLs. This is the package they came back with. I looked at the ones Mopar offers but I wasn't liking the keying on those. On the Mopar ones, the engagement area was just the top of the lug nut. On the Gorillas, it is a considerable distance on the sides of the lug nuts. I have had a tire shop screw up my locking lug nuts with the Mopar style locking lug nuts...so I wanted something different.

I hope this is useful information to you.

Thanks for your post, Joe! I didn't like the Mopar locking lugs either and have seen that type break in the past, as well. I took them off my Jeep and have been running without any locking lugs which I'm not excited about doing either. After reading your post, I just ordered a set of these myself. Thanks again the information, amigo!
