Thanks for the follow-up but the first link in your post is for the lock nuts,not the standard lugs.

There's two links. One is for standard, one is for locking.

They are correct. The forum doesn't seem to allow the double spacing that I gave the links. So I can see how confusion could happen.

This is the correct part for the locking lugs, as has been mentioned previously in this thread.

This is the correct part number for the standard lugs. If you are considering doing what I am doing you will need 5 sets of these plus one set of the locking lugs above.

Gorilla is also aware that the Amazon fit test is not accurate.
Thanks for the confirmation, Rem. It's still confusing the way Gorilla has these listed. It looks like the new p/n you supplied, 61147CX, is part of their lifetime lug nut line. The p/n I purchased, 91944HT, is part of their wheel installation kit series.

Both p/n's are 60 degree conical seat acorn bulge, 13/16 14mm x 1.50 Thread Size. That said, it does look like the "bulge" is wider on the 61147CX. I'm going to keep running mine for now, I don't see any issue with the sport wheels. However, for anyone that hasn't purchased I'd recommend the 61147CX just to be sure.

Got the "factory" Gorilla lugs in today. They measure 1.18 across as opposed to the OEM factory which are 1.22. Much closer than the acorn for sure. Will install them this weekend. Let you know if I have any issues.

Amazon - the links are a couple posts back. Price is about $90.00 as you said.

Hold on a second here, there is an issue.

The lugs I ordered and the lugs I received have the same part number. So far so good.

Now for the issue.

The lugs I received do not say lifetime lugs, they show lug nuts and only show a one year warranty. Something isn't right here.

I am going to email Gorilla again and see why the discrepancy.

So hold off on ordering anything until I get a response.

I don't mind using what I got, but I think I will be owed some money.

On the Gorilla site there isn't even a listing for Life Time Factory style Bulge.There is Acorn Bulge,but no Factory.The 61147dx is just the regular factory style nut.But on Amazon it clearly shows lifetime.Geez,it shouldn't be this difficult.

I'm lucky. The Mc Guard factory is 1 mile from my dealership. I walked up to the customer service counter and got exactly the right lug nuts for my truck. Made right in Orchard Park New York in the good old USA.
