I bought the color lug caps. I could not spend $100 for new Gorilla lugs just because they are black...

I emailed ColorLugs about a cap for the factory wheel lock. I got a phone call just a couple hours later and they said I could try to use the regular caps on it, but if that didn't work they would work with me to get something that does. Pretty good customer service!

Just broke the bank and ordered gorilla ones on ebay. Made an offer at $95.00 shipped and it automatically accepted it. Declined initial $90.00 offer just fyi

A little searching goes a long ways...
I got mine through autoplicity.com a year or more ago. I paid around $60 for them then. Checked autoplicity and apparently they don't stock them anymore, however plugged in the Gorilla part number through google and Summit has the same set I had for $59.97. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/gor-26104bc
These are Black Chrome and look black in person. You cannot tell a whole lot of difference when they are on the truck with my Black Rhino wheels.

Unsure if these work for stock wheels but for aftermarket they work just fine.

I spent some time looking for different lug nuts for my 20" FX4 wheels as well and was told my a number of sources (both local shops and online companies) that I was SOL due to the wide chamfer of the stock lugs. Mine were getting pretty chewed up and found out they were $12 each from the dealer! Good luck if you find anything that works with the OEM wheels, let us know

Thanks. I dont know why the pic is sideways....
was tough the shell out the $100, but looks a million times better than my factory lugs painted black. The coating looks tough, I think they will last well, time will tell. I torqued them to 150 ft/lb. put about 75 miles on today and re-checked, all is well.
