Lug Nuts

[BMCGC]

Are the lug nuts the same on my 25 Sport steel wheels as the lug nuts on the Sport S's aluminum wheels?

I am buying a set of new takeoff aluminum wheels off of an S. I want to buy black lug nuts and need to know what to order.

The studs are 14x1.50. Gorilla Lugs Nuts will have what you need in black.

I also bought Gorilla nuts. I have a minor amount of surface rust on a couple nuts I can probably clean off or warranty. I bought this set specifically arranged for Jeep Wranglers (18 lugs + 5 locks)

I have run Gorrilla lug nuts on JK's and JL's for many years.. Never had any issues with rust.. If I did though, I'm confident Gorrilla, Customer Service would send a replacement for the problematic lug(s)

Like any splined lug, best to not use air tools / power tools to remove or install them... Use those and you risk amputating a spline, etc..

I wash the wheels/lugs and every third wash or so, I spray the lugs with a light coat of Pig Spit... Keeps the lugs looking like new for years.. The Pig Spit coating wards off rust, corrosion, etc.

Pig Spit, great stuff. And one can lasts a long time.

It seems then that the stamped steel wheel and the cast aluminum wheel use the same lug nut.

Aluminum wheels are much thicker than a stamped steel wheel and sometimes requires a longer stud or a shank on the lug nut.

Thanks

P.S. It sucks getting old. I did not have the grip strength to pry out the fuel cavity insert so I used my soldering iron and melted the tabs. Hopefully, I can still manage the 130 lbs for the lug nuts.

The lengh is crucial. This is what happend to me. Seller do not provided

the lengh of nut and I literally pierced it...

That's crazy they were that short. It would be nice to have shorter lug nuts though. The ones I bought along with my MR707's are stupid long. I want to go back and buy some shorter ones for aesthetics. Hell, I have even thought of going to an open style nut.

I prefer the standard hex lug vs the splined lug. I just like the look better. Not really concerned with theft. Stealing from me is like stealing from the Mob.
