Black lugs on R

stanglife · Oct 10, 2016

I received my parts today and started swapping. I like them - the base is similar. They do sit a little higher than the chrome stockers - but lower than the locking one that comes with the car.

Wondered the same thing. They were $100 from Summit so I'd hope they would last at least a little bit. before getting tired looking.

Am I being overly concerned that the OEM lugs have what looks to be a lip/shoulder/seat and the aftermarket ones don't? Does the OEM locking lug have the same lip/shoulder/seat? Would powder coating the OEM lugs hold up?

You are

That shoulder doesn't do a thing

These are the exact same seat as OEM. 60 degree bulge lugs. Gorilla also makes another 60 degree lug they say will fit the GT350/R but the seat is not bulge so it does not look the same as the OEM lugs.

That lip is just the crimp to hold on the chrome cap.

Those are a high quality lug and look great on your R model.

I have been looking for these lugs in black. Thanks for the info. :cheers:

Tried a quick Google and found them at half that price at Amazon, altho they say it does not fit this car. :doh:

I purchased the Gorilla nuts pictured the second day I had my R. I like the black better instead of the chrome and the increased challenge to some chode trying to steal my wheels is an added benefit. The finish appears to be pretty durable - time will tell.
