Someone asked which is better: Rimlox vs Gorilla. I did not see an answer, does anyone have experience with both and provide some input?

Also, can anything verify if Gorilla lugs will fit the small inner diameter bore holes on an HRE wheel?

Finally, which of the 4 Gorilla variations offer the "most" protection (the X2?) and what is the price for a full set of 20?

I am interested in buying a set (either Gorilla or Rimlox) for my wheels in chrome and what size do I need (still on factory SS brake/rotor setup)

I apologize for the large set of questions, thanks in advance!

I have never used Rimlox so I can't provide any info on that. We have never had any issues with HRE wheels. You would want part # 71643N.

Hey Apex,

I appreciate the info about the lug nuts.

After doing more research, I just don't think the Rimlox are worth the hassle to keep up the warranty.

Just one last question before I pull the trigger, do you have any feelings around the new X2 vs the original?

Thanks!

Honestly, I do not see the point of the X2 locks besides marketing. Ultimately the work exactly the same way the standard wheel locks do except with less surface area for the key to engage the lock which is not an appealing idea to me.
