I have Gorilla lug nuts for my SVE wheels (specifically part# 91148BC) and it states they are 13/16 inch hex but I find that socket to be a little looser than expected. And no other socket fits. Anyone run into this? Or have a suggestion for a different black hex tuner style lug nut that have a more snug fit?

Try a 21mm socket, it should work.

That would be even larger than a 13/16. The 13/16 already is looser than I like.

If they’re OEM size, it’s supposed to be 21mm. Otherwise, try 19mm. Does Gorilla’s site not state the socket size??

Gorilla says that PN is 13/16; that's on their site and in OP's first post.

OP: can you warranty them? Gorilla has a 1 yr warranty on their stuff. FWIW, I've found that a lot of aftermarket lug nuts have some level of play in the fit on sockets.

Is the socket you are using deep enough to clear the nub at the end of the lug nut?

Also, 13/16 =21mm.

I use spline drives, a 19mm thin wall lug socket touches my aftermarket wheels so I can't use a regular hex lug
