Let's talk Lug Nuts !

[MikeD1]

Hi Rob,

Greetings from Australia.

Would these 96643BDX be suitable for the MRR M350 wheels? (I've just bought a set of M350's and sorting out lug nuts is beating my brains out.

Also, is a specific "installation tool" required?

Many thanks,

Jim

If the MMR wheels work with the OE lugs, then these will work as well. Some aftermarket wheels require different lugs, so I'd double check with MMR if you're not sure or they didn't specifically state the OE lugs are OK.

These are 'spline' lugs, and come with an adapter (i.e. a key) that is needed for install/removal ( you can order a spare for like $15 from Gorilla I believe).

MRR wheels do not work with the stock lug. You need a 14x1.5 Acorn seat.

e: the M350 specifically I mean. dnno about their other wheels.

I have these, except in black. http://www.amazon.com/Duplex-Spline-Drive-Acorn-14x1-5/dp/B008RPW5E4

I wouldn't buy them again though as I've started scraping the finish off of them.

The M350 doesnt use the factory lug nuts

a normal 19mm socket size 14mmx1.5 acorn seat lug nut will do, any shop will have them for sure brotha.

Also no reset tool needed.

Thanks Paul,

Last questions on this subject:

1) Will 22mm hex be OK instead of 19?

2) What is a range of suitable lengths: 1.45" to 1.9"?

Reason is I've come up with a lot M14x1.5 ranging from 19 to 22mm hex and differing lengths.

Cheers,

Jim

Standard length brotha 1.49" is the shorties we use. Also i use a 19mm socket or 20 mm

Thanks Brotha,

That helps me out; looks like something similar to Gorilla 71643NBC is the way to go for the aftermarket wheels.

I think I can stop being a pest now!

Cheers,

Jim

For the life of me, I cannot find a set of splined red gorilla lugs in M14 x 1.5 ... Any suggestions?

I've never seen a 14x1.5 spline in red only chrome or black. I have standard bulge acorn in red.

Good to know! I'll end up getting just the black splines. Thanks!
