These look great on my 07 Dodge Magnum (polished 18" wheels). After 60k miles, the outer shell on the factory "chrome cap" lug nuts had warped to the point that the spare tire wrench wouldn't fit. Yes, this can be caused by service shops having used wrong size sockets or certain designs of sockets that put pressure in the wrong place, but I shouldn't have to worry about that. This lug nut set from Gorilla is one-piece so it won't warp out of shape. The keyed socket is long and fits completely around the nut, so there is far less chance of the service tech dinging up my rims by being careless or clumsy. New lug nuts from the dealer were $5 each, so if I'd kept my old wheel locks and used the 4 spares I had, that would've still cost me $60, which is mare than I paid for this complete set.

** some good advice ** If you're looking at a set for 5-lug wheels like I was, consider the 6-lug set. In the case for 14 x 1.5 size, the 6-lug set costs less so I saved money and have 4 spare nuts. Instead of having to wait for days or pay expedited shipping in an emergency, I went ahead and ordered a second key socket to keep at home in the toolbox ($10).

I purchased a set of these wheel locks for my 20004 GMC Sierra Extended Cab 1500. These fit perfectly, look great, came in the proper quantity (24 locks), and came with one 'key'. You can order a second 'key' for $10.50 -- something I highly recommend doing as you'll need to keep the 'key' in the truck (presumably locked up, somewhere) if you want to be able to change a flat in the field. I recommend these to others with GM Trucks/SUVs who wish to protect their wheels from casual thieves.

The deal on 24 locks was good. No risk of the lock slipping off the lug like the cheap ones. Fit good and look good on the 2010 Challenger classic. They are not as large in diameter where they meet the wheel (as the cheap stock lugs), but the final contact area is identical.

I purchased a set of these lug nut locks for my 2010 GMC Sierra Crew Cab 1500 and they fit great.

I've owned several sets of the Gorilla brand lug nuts and these are the best yet. Every single lug nut is a wheel lock. Whereas my previous sets had 1 lock per wheel..... i.e. 5 regular lug nuts and 1 locking lug nut.

I'd highly recommend these to anyone with a GM Truck/SUV

product description indicates 24 lug nuts , only recieved 20, had to buy 4 more. don't recommend this company, similar product available at oreilly automotive for half the price.
