I got 31x10.50s (BFG A/T) for my XJ on M/T wheels... ugly crappy stock lugnuts are on their way out. I want something more durable than generic autozone crap...

has anyone tried these?
lets get nutty

someone please see the humor.

thanks,
Matt

I've been considering a full set of Gorilla lugs myself. I've had the same set of Gorilla locking lug nuts for over ten years now and they have held up great and are still rust free. Granted, I live in California so rust isn't a huge issue here...

I have not heard of the McGards but we sell a few different brands at work and the Gorillas are my favorite also there have a tough finish.

I have run McGard wheel locks for years (1979). Good product.

mcgard's can be found at any parts store... 2 observations.
1) wheel locks suck balls, and WILL fail on you... theifs can get em off easier WITHOUT the key!
2) the chrome plating also sucks balls, i too live in california, and my chrome is flaking after 1, maybe 1.5 years.

I'm getting the lugs only, no locks. I had good times with the ones that were on the XJ when I got it... :/

I picked up the one piece mcgards and they have been good for 3 plus years already. It's nice not having to worry about twisting the crappy covers off. I also have mcgard wheel locks on my new ride but they are mopar/mcgard and they came with the ride. I may take them off and put 3 on the spare as a joke

I've bought the "Gorilla Nuts" from Summit a couple of times. Very good stuff and you can get them in black chrome if you wish.
