Just bought some McGard 24210's and didn't like them; the cone face is really short and the nut goes too far into the wheel. Only about 1/16 of an inch of the cone actually touches the wheel. Look at your original nuts and you'll see that ALL of the cone comes into contact with the wheel. The short cone of the McGard puts WAY TOO MUCH LOAD on the wheel and nut at 140 ft/lbs. BEWARE!!

Has anyone that's used the Gorilla nuts taken a look at the cone height vs. the stock nuts? Do the Gorillas look about the same? Hard to tell from the pics posted.
