R Locking Lugs

[mrdci]

You guys know those locking lugs only make you feel safer and can be pulled with just normal sockets. I plan on buy some black gorillas when my car comes in.

My locking lugs were in the trunk. I'm definitely leaving those ugly suckers off. Gonna get some Gorillas.

CJPP has Gorilla locking lugs on sale for Black Friday 2016 or whatever the Saturday is called.

Question on torque - I was told by my mechanic friend not to torque the locking lugs the same as the regular ones - and this was for my F-150, with its 100 ft-lb recommendation.

What do you torque your locking lugs to on your GT350?

Definitely DO NOT torque the stock locking nuts to 150 ft-lbs as I found out how soft the center portions are. They can twist off very easily.

I have these in black. I believe they are discontinued now.

They are super heavy duty and the locking one has a ring that spins in order to prevent theft.

If anyone is interested in asking 55 shipped.

I converted to 1/2 studs so I don't need them anymore.

Are you using the Gorilla Part # 96643BDX? If so, what are you torquing them to? Did you check with Gorilla for their recommended torque value?

Not using Gorillas, only the stock locking nuts that came with the car. Figured I'd try them out and now wish I never had.

When I change my studs out I'll be going with straight open lugs from FRP and one locking Gorilla on my Forgestars and just nothing but FRP open lugs on the CFs for track days.

These torque to 150 just fine. I think they look great too.

And yes, I know my wheels are filthy.

I too just installed these Gorilla lugs. The splines are plenty sturdy. While these locking lugs may not be foolproof, they'll slow some sheisty sumbitch down a bit.

I bought the lugs in this thread and torque'd them to 150ft/lbs

I have Gorilla locking ones all 20 on my R.... The thing with locxkers is they are great to keep a quick hood rat from getting them but a pro wheel thief will barely even be inconvenienced :( Bought a car once with lockers but no key and tire guy had all wheels off in just a minute or two
