The first and likely only mod I plan to do when I take delivery is to get rid of those hideous chrome nuts.

Anybody have any suggestions for replacements like maybe some red or black annodized lugs?

I couldn't agree more. This has been brought up before with one poster thinking that they are titanium.

I can't imagine Ford would use titanium lug nuts on the GT350 - think of all the ham-handed owners mishandling them! I'll bet the lug nuts are the same 14mm x 1.50 ones used for all 2015 Mustangs. American Muscle (http://www.americanmuscle.com/2015-mustang-lug-nuts.html) has a few options in black, including locking ones.

I wonder how red annodized would look given that on the R's they have red calipers. Might look cool... Might look foul.

The reds won't match; the calipers are bright red and the lug nuts are more of a burgundy. Any Honda Civic driver will tell you that matching reds are worth at least 25 horsepower. :lol:

These are not Black, I can't find black locking lug nuts in exact sizes. I just put on Gorilla X2 chrome locking lug nuts:

http://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Automotive-71641X-Thread-Chrome/dp/B00PNK263G

I could not find equivalent locking ones in black.

The ones on Amazon are an exact fit and look like the factory ones on top, the bottom recess, acorn style, is slightly smaller than the factory lug nuts.

On American Muscle, they also have chrome locking wheel lug nuts:

The AM ones look like exact factory fits, but don't have the double lock head like the Gorilla X2.

I've never seen that 2 stage lock. That beats all other useless locks which can be removed with any old socket.

I can attest the Gorillas are pretty good and they even match the stock lugs at a glance.

Thanks. I think it is real new. Have not seen it much anywhere else either. I just did a search on Amazon for Gorilla wheel locks for 2016 mustang Shelby GT 350 and GT with performance pack and ended with these. Fricking torque to 150 pounds/ft is a back killer if you have a bad back like me.

I like them as they look exactly like factory. I will send pics later on today.

I was informed by Ford Racing that the lugs are larger on the GT350s therefore I don't see how lug nuts from any 2015 Mustang would fit. Maybe someone can address the lug size of the standard Mustangs compared to the GT350 lugs. I was told the GT350 has 14mm lugs while the regular Mustang has 1/2" lugs.
