Have used Gorilla lug nuts on several vehicles since 2002 (both chrome and BLACK) and have never had any issues. Both finishes are durable and withstand even winter salt, though the key is hand-tool install, no air-tools or impacts.

Default Gorilla: 61108CXL Factory-Style Bulge Chrome F-150 2009-2014/Raptor F-150 2010-2014
Got mine on Friday and installed them. $94.99 shipped from CJ PonyParts.

NFI or recommendation, just straight up info. Successfully installed. Removal of old required a rubber mallet to seat the factory wrench factory nuts.

I’m in this predicament too at the moment. All of my lugs are swollen or rounded over. I’m leaning more towards to McGard lugs. Couldn’t find any manufacturing info on the Gorilla lugs so I’m assuming they’re made in China. McGard looks like a quality product and I’d rather support a company still making products in the USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🏼

I used DP accessories. There has been some debate about the seating area being large enough, I haven’t had an issue in the 2-3 years I’ve had them on my truck

Gorilla lugs on my truck. Quality material. I have the chrome spline drive as my aftermarket wheels sort of dictate I use them due to the very small gap between the lugs and the deep hole it sits in. Have rotated my wheels 3 times now and even using an impact they remain unmarred.
