Gorilla 21123BC Small Diameter Acorn Lug Nuts
 
Ok just getting confused sifting through the forum reading conflicting information.

Here is the amazon link to them: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O08ADO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX 0DER"]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O08ADO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX 0DER[/ame]

Some posters have specifically stated that we cannot use these lug nuts with aftermarket wheels while others say they use them with no problem.

I went to gorillas website and their websites say they are 60 degree tapered style and offers a more secure fit than traditional tuner styled lugs. http://www.gorilla-auto.com/small-diameter-lug-nuts.

So to be more specific would these be safe to purchase and use with a set of Enkei Kojin or Fujin wheels on our car?

Well damn, I was hoping for at least one opinion before I purchased.

I was thinking of also getting the Muteki's but they look the exact same as the Gorillas and cost more.

I have a few of those sets. I've used them on stock wheels, Weds, ASA, and Sparco (OZ). No problems.

Draco-REX have you been happy with their quality or should I pony up some more money for the Muteki's?

Draco-REX 08-02-2013 04:12 PM

The one set I ran through the winter had a lot of nicks in the powdercoat. But the rest have held up great. Short of a very expensive set of two-piece lug nuts, I think they're fine. I've also used Gorilla lug nuts on my RallyX cars with no issues either.

I've used these lugs on other cars before with no issues. I currently have thm on my BRZ and am happy with the fit and finish.

Like those gold wheels philly and the lugs look good on them too!!

I wanted gold wheels but all my boys (I have 3 sons) gave me crap saying they did not like the gold on white look (i thought it looked good though).

I'm running the same Gorilla nuts on stock wheels. They're as safe as the oem nuts and the finish is better quality than Muteki.
