Locking lug nut size

[Biscuit]

The primary reason locking lugs have become obsolete: Lug Removers which are available everywhere. With these, or other more intricate/capable varieties of these, the locking lugs don't even slow them down. It's unfortunate, but...

They're junk anyhow, including the US-made McGard wheel locks. I bought a set of four at Autozone a month ago and installed them per instructions by hand and torqued them to specs. When I removed them yesterday to mount new all-terrain tires on the rims, two of the four cracked longitudinally the entire length of the nut and the "tits" that the key engages snapped completely off. Furthermore, the underlying steel is badly rusted, and it was obviously corroded even before the chrome plating was applied. $30.00 wasted, but that's my own fault (1) for buying them in the first place and (2) not saving the original packaging and receipt.

I installed these. They're all locks and seem to be of good quality (one piece and chrome-plated). I also like that they're uniform in appearance. We'll have to see if they stand the test of time. They also come in black.

I have the same in black. They are a top notch offering. Actually, there a a few forum members with this product.

For sure they look way better then the stock lug nuts ..

YES, they do afford a tad bit of protection in regard to wheel theft. At the least it will slow them down a few minutes. I know they slow me down when I go to remove them.

I guess you could replace some of the wheel studs with left hand screw thread wheel studs. That will slow them down also...

Is the official size of the lug nuts that fit a JLUR the metric 14mm x 1.5? I want a set of Gorilla locking lugs (black) but Amazon's fitment says they do not fit my 2018 JLUR.

That is correct. Amazon's fitment guide is unreliable at best, especially for newer cars.

Many thanks, I was almost ready to order the second set of the wrong lugs!!! Got it now. Thanks again.

@BobK

They are available now with estimated ship date of 7/16 at Summit Racing to include free shipping. Price is comparable to what you would pay at amazon.com

SO do you guys order 2 sets of 4 locknuts? Is there a way to order 1 or is it just as cheap to just get two sets. I had my spare stolen off my JK.

I purchased Gorilla locking lugs from Summit Racing. It came with 24 locking lugs and the key lock socket to remove them. Sure beats having just one lock per wheel and having the lugs look off center because one is a different size and shape than the others.

I got two sets of 14mmx1.5 SPLINE nuts-one black, one chrome-

They aren't lock nuts, but they do take a special fitted steel socket to remove and they will also allow the use of JK alloy wheels on the JL-

Where is the cheapest place to order the Gorilla 24 pack of locking lugs. I am in Canada and the 24 pack is hard to find in black.

Ya I saw that. I am really looking for black and a set of 24 so all are the same.
