I ended up ordering these from amazon because of the reviews and they were the diameter i wanted(about 22mm worth of tapered seat). These are for a jeep and have the same amount of taper as the wheels. Gorilla doesn't show the diameter and i didn't want ones the same size as stock even though they do fit these wheels. I probably could have ordered gorilla nuts
for a jeep and got the size i wanted, but wasn't sure. I also ordered some hubcentric rings and i'll post some photos of these new ones vs the tuner ones since i'll have to take the nuts off again. For $20 these nuts are very nice. Please note i don't have a 6g, i have a 5g hence the 1/2-20 nuts https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BK3M15Y?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details The tuner ones probably would be fine, i just didn't like how unnecessarily small they were.

Gorilla black. Expensive but worth it.I don't get why these don't engage fully the taper. everyone said i needed aftermarket lug nuts, but this doesn't look safe to me. These are the $20 set from AM. My factory lug nut from my 06 bullitts actually fits, what gives?

On my GT350R, the OEM 2-piece nuts are junk. I bought black 1-piece Gorillas 61148BCX, and I think they look better with the CF wheels than the chrome OEM.
When I changed to black Apex wheels, the Gorillas would no longer fit because the Apex wheel hubs are thinner than the CF. I switched to the FPP open lugs (https://www.cjponyparts.com/ford-performance-lug-nut-open-ended-set-mustang-2015-2022/p/M1012N/) because the long length of the studs, especially the fronts, won't work with anything else. The FPP maintain the high 60* shoulder like OEM.

I would use the factories if they fit and you like them.I don't get why these don't engage fully the taper. everyone said i needed aftermarket lug nuts, but this doesn't look safe to me. These are the $20 set from AM. My factory lug nut from my 06 bullitts actually fits, what gives?

Also recently swapped out factory lug nuts for Gorilla brand OEM style in black. Had originally swapped out factory chrome for Ford Performance black.

They fit, but i wouldn't say i like them. one of mine the cap popped off so now it's open ended. here are the new black ones vs the small diameter tuner black ones and vs stock. As you can see the tuner/splined nuts have very little contact with the wheel. Is this a problem, idk, but it doesn't seem safe to me. I also got some mcgard locks. These fit just right.
