Question about locking lug bolts

[TorkN8R]

Yep, someone does have all the correct info. It's even been posted 4 or 10 times already in this tread too.

What is the correct foot lbs. of torque for the PP wheels?

1. Are the factory lug nuts on the PP wheels are metric? If so, what size?
(You are correct...my bad! 14mm x 1.5 ) Thanks for the point out.

2. What is the outside diameter of the lug nut hole on the PP wheels for using a socket and torque wrench ? (Not answered in the thread at all! I was only asking if the stock lug on the PP wheels required a narrow socket in the hole like some mags do.) Can anyone help out?

3. What is the correct foot lbs. of torque for the PP wheels? (Not answered! Those are guesses, NOT spec's!) Can anyone help out?

Thanks very much in advance to anyone that can help.

There is one key for all 20 locks in the set.

I think what he was asking was if ALL gorilla locks in the store use the same "key" or if they are actually specific to each set.

Yes, he clarified that 2 posts later, 5 days ago.

And the key number comes in the package. DON'T LOSE IT!!!!

I don't know exactly how many key combinations they have, but it's probably high enough the odds someone will happen along with the right one will be quite unlikely.

Some people on Amazon had rust problems. Maybe the chrome would hold up better, but I have not found a set of 20 yet. The link in this thread is for a different style.

I'll take a few and post them in a few minutes, Asharus. I've had no rust issues and have been very pleased with the quality and the look. But they've only been on for about six weeks.

 

[Asharus]

cool thanks, looking forward to the pics.

Amazon tells me that they don't fit a 2015 Mustang... Perhaps they should look into that, otherwise they might miss out of some sales from people that don't know better. Also, what's the difference between the different styles they have in 14mm x 1.5? Is it just the length?

This happens for me more often than it works. It's up to the buyer to really know what they need.

14x1.5 is the thread size, not the overall nut size. The differences are OAL, shape of the mounting surface (Acorn, Ball Seat, etc) and appearance really.

If you look at this page you will see the OAL of each type of Gorilla lock and under that is the thread size it comes in:

Here you go...these are on my 2015 Mustang...they fit perfectly...just the right length...
