Review on πŸ”© McGard 64074 Black Bulge Cone Seat Lug Nut Set – M14 x 1.5 Thread Size (Pack of 4) by John Mceachern

Fits 2017 Dodge Challenger Hellcat

I have a 2017 Dodge Challenger Hellcat and it comes with fantastic matte black wheels. The problem is that it also comes with standard chrome nuts. I was looking at another brand but reviews about it are mixed. I settled on FOUR packs of McGard 64074 and one pack of McGard 24216 Chrome/Black Cone Seat Wheel Lock Set. If you have 5 lags you will lose about $140 per set. They were 22mm, just like the factory bolts, so my 22mm impact wrench and socket worked fine. Tip to the wise: It is possible to remove the nuts with an impact wrench, but I would recommend hand tightening and a torque wrench to bring them to factory specs. Hellcat is 111 ft/lbs. I gave 4 stars because they appear to be "thinner" materials than factory nuts. A small concern, but when a car puts out more than 707 hp there's always a concern that there will be additional loads. I am keeping an eye on them for now and will check if they are still tight and properly tightened after about 40km of riding. It would also be nice if there were a "Flat Black" version instead of "Black Chrome", but that's a clear improvement over the pure factory chrome.
