I have the gorilla locks, they work great...they are the same length as the stockers and dont look out of place, sorry i dont have pics but the part number is 71641N...

I originally purchased the McGards but they were waaaayyyy too long and looked stupid, so I went to the Gorilla Locks and they are the perfect length and look great

RnRKimaro · 08-10-2009, 07:36 PM

Someone had prev. mentioned the Gorilla 61641 style was hoping someone could post a pict. on how they look. Or again if anyone bought the GM ones.

I just purchased 5 sets. I plan on replacing all the lug nuts... make it all look uniform and a real pain in the ass for the turds... anyways, I bought it directly from one of the eBay sellers, but not through eBay. The price they have on eBay is the price I paid on their site. Through eBay I would have paid $24.75 for shipping (5x $4.95) for 5 sets. Through their website I only paid $11.95 for delivery & handling charges... So for 5 Sets I paid $115.40 I will post pictures once I get them and put them on.
Here's their website:

Anymore updates or options for wheel locks? I would like to hear some feed back on the Gorilla brand or others along w/ part numbers please.

broncosman · 10-08-2009, 12:50 PM

Aaaaaaaah hahahha crap... so from my order above, I tried putting them on, they fit... BUUUUUT all 5 sets had 5 different keys

bwahahahah
<---Lug nut noob here...

I called them up, they said send them back and we'll send you the set of 20 that cost $48.99 at no additional shipping costs to you. And we'll refund you the $55 (approx) difference.

So, for future reference, if you didn't know, each set has it's own custom key (like a combo lock's combo). If you're ordering for the whole car, you'll have to look at this one here:

Sorry it took so long to get back w/ ya. Thank you for the details....great reply.

LightningSS · 10-19-2009, 04:52 PM

I have Gorillas on my car (not all 20). A word of caution... this weekend I was putting a tire back on and the torque wrench slipped, the key came half way out, and the inside ridges of the gorilla key got stripped out half way length-wise. Now I can't tighten or loosen the gorilla nut.... Need to order a new key now.

Jay_LHD3 · 10-20-2009, 03:36 PM

@LightningSS

Can you post a pic of what the Gorilla Nuts look like on your car? (Never thought I would ever say that!) But seriously, I want to see these on a Camaro to decide if I want to go this direction. Do you have the midnight wheels?

Michael_Js · 10-20-2009, 04:38 PM

Wish I had better closeups for you: I bought 5 sets of 4 - 5 different keys

Sorry, but these are the 20" polished wheels...

So, the wheel you see has 4 from 1 set and 1 from another on her. I figured better security that way!

Looks good!!! What brand are these and where did you buy them from? (They look different from the Gorillas on the Summit Racing website.)

Does anyone know the contrast or have photos of chrome wheel locks on midnight silver painted wheels?

Johnny1 · 12-08-2009, 12:10 PM

I have on order for my 2SS when it comes in the 21" tire and wheel package. I just called Gorilla and asked about #71643N which comes in a package of 20 size 14mmX1.5. Stating that on a Camaro forum its said these fit the 20" wheels ok and if they will fit the 21" also. They say they don't have anything for the 2010 Camaro yet in either size that maybe sometime next year. Any idea why they're saying that when some on here say they work and look just fine. I sure wouldn't want to loose a wheel flying down the road.

HeavyD · 12-08-2009, 02:44 PM

They are wrong. The 2010 Camaro is indeed in their application guide. As long as the new wheels have the same tapered seat as factory (60 degree), which they should, you'll be fine.

Thanks for your post - ordered a set.

zirotti · 08-29-2010, 06:18 PM

So the consensus is that the Gorilla 71643N are the ones to go with? I've never put an entire set of locking lugs on a my cars before. Just one per wheel...

Any recommendations for who else besides Summit carries them? They are out of stock until mid-September.
