Default Which Locking Lug Nuts Are These?

Hello,
I was hoping that someone here could identify the locking nuts that are used on my truck I just purchased?

I purchased the truck last week used from a dealer. I looked today to see what kind of wheel lugs were being used, as the aftermarket rims that came on the truck have covers over the wheel lug nuts. Unfortunately I cannot find the key socket for them and have contacted the dealership which is working on tracking down the original owner who traded my 2016 in a few weeks ago.

Does anyone know which brand of lock nut this is?
If you happen to know which brand they are do they all use the same key pattern or are they all unique?

Thanks in advance!

Those look like Gorilla brand but they are not locking. I have a set of those on my truck except they are not headless like those appear to be. I also have the Gorilla brand locks on each wheel and the splines are offset in such a way that you have to use a specific key to remove them.




Don't have any pics of the Gorilla locking but they look nothing like these or the ones you have. A 6 point socket will take those off.

They are spline drive lug nuts. I have mcgard and they do not look like that I would contact a gorilla dealer and get a spline socket. Only about ten bucks.

A 6 point socket will remove the spline drive lugs, no special tool required.
