I have a 350R and my lug bolts are rusted at the end and looking to replace them. Anyone have a recommendation for a new set of lugs or factory the way to go. Minimum tracking so don’t need anything too extensive.

thx

Short of going full-fancy-pants, Gorilla is the standard, go-to, no frills, stock replacement. Don't waste time looking anywhere else nor overthinking it. PIc for attention, LOL

We talking bolts (studs) or nuts?

I love my Gorilla nuts. They are so hefty and firm and have a great hand-feel.

I bought the black ford performance replacements. They are exactly like the stock but black. You should never use an impact on these as it will damage the outer shell.

I recommend Gorilla lug nuts, which is what I switched to. They don't have the metal/aluminum covering on them which can frustrate removal of the nuts over time if they become worn or damaged by frequent removal/reinstallation or by use of an ill-fitting wrench/socket, and are available in black if you want them to match the color of black wheels. They are available with all non-locking lug nuts, a single locking lug nut (pictured at the 3 o'clock position in the picture) or with all 5 locking lug nuts, if desired.

Not exactly what was requested, but here is a GT350 w/6GR R replicas with DP black long (2.02” length) and short (1.35” length) spline lug nuts. The longer fronts don’t stick out as much as the backs but using the shorter ones in the front Are completely recessed.

While I normally prefer Ford OEM or Performance parts, the two piece lug nuts are terrible if you take them on and off regularly as you do when tracking your car. If you aren’t tracking your car, I’m sure the factory lugs will be fine-ish…

After having to go through the trouble of removing a separated lug, I replaced all mine with the one-piece Gorilla lugs and have been super happy with them and use my impact gun to take them off without worry.
