    Since everyone seems a little shy I thought I'd post up

    These IMHO would have to be one of the highly regarded lock nuts on the market, the last time these came off a car it broke a socket so that would have to say something knowing that aren't easy to get off not to mention could you imagine some crim attempting it during the night without waking someone, good luck I say. The outside collar just spins making nothing fits on there making them ideal.

    Price wise they are about $30 cheaper than anywhere else on the market that I've come across.

    Can we order spare lock nuts? As in the one to undo the others.

    Yes,

    Each set comes with a lock code which can then be used to order spare keys.

    Honestly, I haven't tried to fit them over the Gorilla Lock Nuts. Perhaps Darren might know....

    Alternatively, you could always get the chrome caps instead of black.

    If so how much?

    They are 38mm long from end to end. Best to take a wheel nut off and measure it to get an accurate idea.

    Hi Jarred,
    Can I fit them to my stock wheels?
    Have a look at my car link and can I pay direct deposit?

    Hi Pete,

    Yes you can use them with stock wheels. Best to check the nut length though to ensure you have enough clearance under the centre cap.
    Yes we accept direct deposit.

    Send me your email address by PM and I will send you the payment details.

    Apart from the spinning sleeve which stops a socket being inserted over it. is the quality strong?? I've heard some lock nuts just snap in half at times...

    Guys these make a great X-mas present, if you are keen on a set then why not give a hint???

    When viewing the product online,
    Select the 'Extra Info' Tab,
    Select 'tell someone you know about this product',
    Enter your friends email details and let then know that's what you want for Christmas

    Couldn't be easier.

    Merry Christmas!

    I ordered a set of these and received them very quickly!!

    I put them on a set of WH Grange wheels, which previously had the standard holden nuts with chrome coloured covers. The cover obviously doesn't fit over the locknut but the lock nut doesn't really stand out much at all.

    I was definitely glad I got these over a $30 pair of locknuts from any of the standard auto stores, I don't see how you could easily break into them in a carpark or driveway, hopefully i'm right

    Should be ordering a set of these soon.

    Would they fit fine on a set of VE SSV's? (On a VZ)

    Yes, just go through the checkout process on our website and select Bank Deposit as your payment method. For your VR you want the 12x1.5mm nuts.

    I got a set of these with my rims when I bought them and recently lost the lock nut key. It took me about 4 hours, wrecked 3 sockets and snapped the ratchet mechanism in the socket tool just to get 1 of these things off. After I got one of I found out what brand they were and now I've ordered a new set to get the key to get the rest of them off.

    I highly recommend Gorilla Guard Lock Nuts and advise that you do not misplace your key.

    That says a fair bit for them.

    Keeping in mind I believe the keys are different so even if you buy a new set you won't be able to use the key on the old one's as far as I know.
