Searching for black wheel locks/lug nuts

Im trying to find a place or someone selling black wheel locks/lug nuts locally vs ordering. I prefer "gorilla" but it doesn't matter

They are almost impossible to find locally. I haven't had any luck as of yet as I hav always had to order them. If you find a place locally please post as I also need a new set for my wheels. Good luck with your search. By the way the purple wrap on your car looks fantastic. Who did it and how much if you don't mind ?

Whats the difference? Ive had gorrilla lugs in black on my charger that I traded it in for the camaro it had 244k miles... installed them when I went to 18's...Around 76k... after running them for nearly 170k Miles I never had an issue...fading chipped etc...

So when I got the camaro..went to the same brand. I mean if you prefer mcgard..cool

. But def wouldnt say its the only brand worth it... theres plenty of reputable brands

I like gorilla. And might have to go with them since I dont think the Mcgards are wide enough(research is on going as to which I am going with).

I had a set on all my cars. And some went with buyers others just went on my next car.

What makes them different is the free spinning "seat" on the lugs which allows for better and more accurate torquing of the lugs. Also much harder to have them "freeze" onto the stud/wheel.



But yeah its a preference thing.

I gotchya.. the same spline drives I had on my cavalier. Ive cracked their locks before ans had to do the hammer and socket removal method before for the lock.

And you get the color options as well.

Long as ya got a bulge acorn set..shouldnt have any issues though.
