Before I just order whatever, what brands do we trust for lug nuts? Any specific brands we like or dislike? I already know the specs: M14 x1.5, 60 degree conical, 2 inch total length. Probably gonna go with splined. Here’s the wheels, because pics are better than no pics.

Saw these, but for some reason my brain told me I need to know if anyone has a brand they liked better. Don’t ask me why I am this way.
I ran gorilla lug nuts until Archtype racing came through with a 16 mm lug nut ( only took them 6 months) but they are very high quality and I thought worth the wait

I’ve run the gorilla lug nuts on three of my vehicles with no issues. I like that they are all keyed and the black coating holds up really well.

That over priced company has closed up. They are out of business.

I’m sure they are very high quality, but the cost is about $120. Pretty steep.
Thats actually pretty good. $120 for 24 lugs. I was expecting much higher from AEV. And they look OEM too! I'll be placing a order here soon for the AEV. A set of 4 MOPAR black lug nuts is $75. For 4!

Yeah, not cheap. My local tire shop wanted $5 each for crap lugnuts, so I figured I'd pay a little extra for quality. But they are a lot more than most internet lugnuts.

Gorilla makes this nice socket key, too.
