Wow...I didn't realize there would be that much of a size difference! I just ordered the black gorillas from brandsport.com to use with my black 20's in the fair weather months. They haven't even arrived yet, and I won't be using them until spring. I'll be interested to hear how they fit.

I ordered some black lugs from SDHQ ( http://sdhqoffroad.com/FordRaptorBla...LugNutKit.aspx ) but they look just like the ones in the photo above. They sell them as Black Splined Raptor Lugs. I am going to return them because of the size difference.

YES. I've been using the chrome version of the same lug nut for 3years now with no issues, concerns, etc.. *If they're good enough for ROUSH, they're good enough for me.

they seem to seat well and the wheels feel solid, there is just something in the back of my mind that is saying its not right....the difference in the depth and width is what is getting me

I've been looking at these too and from what I can tell these bigger chrome lug nuts are for Harley Davison edition wheels and are also used on the FX 20 inch wheels as well. The Harley edition sell for about $250 a set and I've not found anything close to them in black. I'm curious to really know what black lugnuts are truly available out there that can safely replace these larger chrome Harley ones.
