Locking lug nuts

[Apache64a]

Hi.I have a 3 day old 2LT, IBM, with 6 speed manual. Has 20" wheels that come with RS package. Having trouble finding the CORRECT size locking lugs. I know Gorilla makes them but unsure of exact size.
Can anyone in "Camaro Land" help me please?

I use McGuards on all my other vehicles, especially my 1976 corvette with 3000 miles on it.

Thanks

Go to 'wheel / tire vendor forum' = look up Apex Chase for gorilla. As for GM oe / McGard, they will come close in size, but will be longer. Do a search for 'wheel locks'.

What you need is 14mm x 1.50 Acorn style.

Interesting. My car had them installed from the dealer?

Thanks for the mention. Here is what you are looking for. They are 14mm X 1.5.

Thank you.......a few folks mentioned the 14mm by 1.5 acorn, part 61641 by Gorilla.
A tech at my chevy dealer said no. It does take a 7/8" socket to remove the current lugs.
The tech may be wrong. I see this product on Amazon for $17/set of 4.

Thanks for the reply.

All I got to say to this is wow, he's an idiot.

The tech is right on one account though. It does take a 7/8 to take them off (however the key for Gorilla wheel locks use a 13/16). The 14mm x 1.50 refers to length of the lug and the thread pattern inside, not the size needed to remove and install the lugs. If the tech knew what he was doing he would have known this.

The Gorilla 61641 from Amazon is what I'm running on my Camaro. 2 different sets on each wheel. I picked these over anything else because of the spinning collars. All other non-spinning collar locking nuts can just be removed with a slightly larger socket and a big hammer.

I should also point out that I have one of those older style 4-way lug nut wrenches to work with so I haven't ever tried putting these on or taking them off using the stock lug nut wrench.

Ordered mine on Sunday, got an email that that are on their way. That's some great customer service.
