They’re nuts, not bolts, and the Gorillas are fine for the torque specified.

If you have OE rims the Gorilla locking lug # are 96641BDX for black ones or 96641DX for chrome ones.

You can also get the 96643BDX or 96643DX which is a matched set of 20 locking lugs for the OE rims but you would still need to buy one pack regular Gorilla lugs (61147BCX or 61147CX) to complete what you need. The "B" in the part numbers notes for "black" in the part numbering system and if you change the last number "7" to an "8" you go from a 4pc blister pack to a bulk item

If you're interested I do have a friend that is selling his 96643BDX (Set of 20 locking lugs) because he ended up going with aftermarket rims and they won't work with them.

Hey, how about torque rating? Just read the crazy torque Ford asks on this truck. It's ridiculous: 148 ft/lbs.
If you think that is crazy, what do you think of the torque on my '17 Edge? Nuts??

Anyway, be sure to follow the advice in the pic below, and re-torque after 100 miles. That is how I found the truck lugs screwed up after my last dealer rotation. First rotation caused no problems. Maybe they used an Edge- set torque gun on my F-150?

Thanks for the tip. I placed an order.

Note that the 15% can only be used once. So if you are ordering multiple stuff, put it on one purchase.

Spline lugnuts are not that uncommon. Thieves will have spline sockets since they know they are especially common with tuner ricer vehicles.

Does anybody has the right part number for just locking nuts? Typically McGard are the OEM's choice. But found 2 P/Ns and not sure which is the correct one, since they look different. My truck is listed below, if options make a difference. Thx.
