I've got the splined lock lugs on mine and put regular solid chrome on the Edge. I haven't bothered to change the Fusion because, at this point, I've got like 35 spare oem ones to replace ant that crap out.

What I put on. I also ordered a couple of extra "keys'. Keep one with the spare, one in the tool box and one in the safe in case I fu and lose the others.

I replaced the lug nuts on both of my Mustangs and my F150 with the Spline type lug nuts (listed above)years ago. I've always hated those two piece crap OEM nuts. Just keep the adapter socket in the glove box. No worries!

Thanks for that detail Dave, did Amazon let you order the spare keys or did you have to wait until the nuts arrive then orde4 that code from Gorilla?
cheers John

Woaaa , in Australian $’s from CJP $194.00 for the nuts then either $156.00 or $189.00 For postage - so that’s either $385.00 or $422.00 landed here in Australia. US post always seems dearer than anywhere else?
Think I’ll stick with factory nuts for now 😂

Edited - just checked Amazon only $167.00 and free postage from them 😄👍🏻

You have to order extra keys from Gorilla. The set comes with a sticker with a code and you have to have that to order spares.

I think I am going to order just the regular one like the factory without any key. I could feel the tires shops going to be mad changing all the tires with all the lug nuts that have all the keys

It looks like cjpony have the gorillas lug nuts for oem for $69.00. I can’t believe a set of lug nuts cost that much or more

Update,
The dealer was. Ice about it but just couldn't find time.

I had a friend that had the damaged nut remover tool, so I borrowed it, hammered it in with a mallet, then used a breaker bar.

I have ordered a set of gorillas but for now, I put an extra ford lug nut in its place.

You can get the Ford Performance black nuts for that price here in Australia if you want original, but i went Black McGards and i think i paid around $180 delivered via amazon

Cheers TasGT the FP nuts are $95 a set of 5 so $380 + postage and if i remember when i ordered from the USA Amazon had a postage deal. I cant help but think ( and its the reason i didn't go down that path ) that the FP nuts are just black coated versions of the originals and ergo would be subject to the same problems but i can't find anyone who has them to confirm that. The MCgards I had on my Falcon GT and i couldn't speak highly enough of them.
