Came here to post these. Been running them on two trucks and they have been flawless. I highly recommend getting a special wheel socket to go with them to prevent scuffing of finish on the wheels and lugs. Paired them with the McGard black wheel locks as well.
I'm also running these Gorilla lugs. After 18 months and one salty Ohio winter no issues so far. Nothing to brag about yet, but I'm not seeing the premature rust others have reported- so that's a plus for now.

I think their quality varies tremendously. I had the same experience with @Zeppelin (and am also in NE), but I still went with them on other car/wheel combos because of their variety. But they rusted quickly for a "performance" product. And how are you supposed to "clean your lug nuts" when they are buried deep inside the rim? By nature of the wheels requiring tuner lug nuts, you can barely get the specialized socket in there let along cleaning tools.

No matter which ones I use, though, I always put a dash of anti-seize on the threads to at least prevent corrosion there. And ONLY use hand tools on my rims. I will immediately undo the lugs and tighten them by hand if a shop had the tires off for anything.

If you're lubricating your studs you best be making sure the shop is aware of such. The torque value drops to 105 foot pounds when lubricated. The typical yahoo w/ an airgun could end up causing some damage when they apply what they think is their usual 200ftlbs.

I know it lowers the torque. I ask them/tell them not to use an air gun. Then I redo them when I get the vehicle home. What else are you going to do besides sit in the shop with them? I typically bring them rims and tires off the vehicle whenever I can anyway.

Ford performance 24 pack is like $140 shipped. The only one that doesn't rust that I'm aware of
I'm on my second set of Gorilla (brand) black locking nuts, I had them on my '14 EB and they never rusted during 4 semi-harsh winters. Unfortunately, F150's from my Gen. used dif. thread pitch of 2.0 vs. new Gen 1.5, so hence why new ones had to be bought.

Product: Gorilla Automotive 76644NBC Black Chrome 14mm x 1.50 Size (24-Pack)
Here's the Amazon product link: https://a.co/d/abKEeOw

Uh, same dif Bub, your static link vs the encrypted one I posted...

They're both amazon links, the difference is one compensates you to push it ?‍♂
