Black Chrome Gorilla Tuner Lugs on Summit Racing

I got my Gorilla lugs from Summit(Best shipping period) and have not had any problems in the five or six months I've had 'em. I've taken my wheels off three or four times and they still shine. Just make sure you don't get open ended lugs, they tend to rust easier and don't look nearly as good as closed end ones.

true. i will never ever go back to an open end lug ever again after having my splinedrive lugs. those lugs were like my silverstars, best money ever spent on the car.

Are there different sizes for lugs, like for stock or aftermarket wheels? I kind of need new lugs sometime with my stock ls sport rims, but I didn't know which ones will work with them. Or are lugs universal?

There are different sizes and thread pitches, so you need the ones that match our car (12x1.5). Secondly, there are different types and overall sizes (some are longer, some are shorter, some are closed, some are coated, some are thin walled, etc etc etc).

I love my splinedrives. They are easy to put on and take off.

I recently put Iopen lugs on my moms car and I hate them with a passion. I wish I never bought them.

I got my set new for about $80 on eBay. The Gorillas seem to be good enough for most, but I haven't regretting going with the more costly McGard lugs.

That will get you the correct threads. Other than that, you just need them to be "tuner" style to physically fit into most aftermarket wheels.

I bought some Gorilla lugs but bought only 16. I'd forgot that I needed them in the 20 lug package.
So, I put them on the daily driver with good looks. They were the reds.

I then ordered the McGaurd spindle drive lug nuts with red tops.
Sweet looking lugnut and paid about $70 bucks with shipping.
By far, this is the nices lug nut that I've ever seen or used.
These will be my new lug nuts for the future of the Cavy.

Here's a pic of them on the rims/ car.


I plan on 18's as my last setup for the 'blu.
