no need to waste money on the gorilla nuts, these are perfect for 30 bones.

I checked them out. Found this at towards the bottom of the page in red print.

"For installation on custom wheels only. They will not fit on factory OEM wheels. Some applications may require the use of a thin wall socket.'

I'm not saying they aren't correct for your application. Just may not be correct for everyone.

30 bones for gorilla nuts? Youre going to have to post that link. That would be a mighty find indeed since they are usually like 80 or so.

agreed, they offer many sets, below is the general f150 link for our trucks.

I may be mistaken but I don't see where those lugnuts are made by Gorilla Automotive nor are they the correct size acorn bulge for our OEM aluminum wheels

Yes and that is the correct part number. Only difference is the B in the part number. Not sure you can use an impact with them without harming the finish, so you may be looking at a hand tightening (tire iron) with a torque wrench to finish, I suppose. If anyone has used an impact on them without harming the finish, please let us know. I'm looking at the same set.

Sounds too good to be true. Probably got some Gorirra or Golilla nuts... not true Gorillas.

I looked for anything stating they were genuine Gorilla brand lug nuts and never saw that anywhere, not to mention they don't resemble the lug nuts I posted on post # 12.

I would be wary of using them on OEM aluminum wheels.
