Gorilla Automotive 38433N - Gorilla Wheel Lock Systems - summitracing.com

I just ordered those. Killed to birds with one stone. I wanted shorter lugs than my LX lugs and i also wanted locking lugs.

Do i need BALL seats / rounded seats?
Is 12 x 1.5 the correct size?
What other dimensions do i need to worry about?
I might get some wheel locks from there too...


Thanks.
First post of the thread..... first sentence.

"Wheel Whore in Training" please take notes...

-Mcgard's are not painted
-Mcgard's are chrome steel plated which is crazy durable. more durable than a anodized lug (think Ray's/Work) and more durable than a cheap painted lug
-Mcgard's are one of the highest quality lugs on the market.

class dismissed noob.
