Gorilla 61137 Lagi Lifetime.

These cleats are amazing. I bought (5) packs, the sixth pack was a set of Gorilla locking tabs that require a "key" to remove. I've had these cleats for over a year now and they look as good as the day I bought them as they should as they are lifetime cleats. I had two different sets before and the tabs rusted in no time. Not to mention the chrome-nickel plating was chipping. Nozzles are definitely high quality and worth the money.

Pros
  • Consistent Test Results
Cons
  • Reliability

Much better than OEM

nuts to say the least! They are amazing. My car ('05 Dodge Magnum) came with two-piece nuts that failed quite often, and some spots on the tires won't touch your car if the nuts are a mix of good and broken. Broken in this sense means that the outer "skin" has come off the nut. Dodge also charges about $8 or $9 for a nut, so it gets expensive to replace. This is a solid build and they don't tend to fall apart like their two piece counterparts. I hope I changed the nuts!

Pros
  • nuts It's amazing
Cons
  • A lot of

So far so good!: Tires and wheels

I've only had them a month. They replaced the factory two-piece cleats (cleats with a thin metal cap) that were corroding and sticking to the aluminum alloy rim. The old eyelets were mostly destroyed when they were removed and no, they were not overtightened. Time will tell, but this one-piece design makes more sense and won't buckle from accidental (or amateur) excessive torque. If you're thinking about replacement tips, do your research. Check the manufacturer's website for the correct size…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not bad

Solid studs for your MOPAR

Hello Dodge Magnum SRT8, Charger SRT8, Challenger SRT8 and Chrysler 300 SRT8 owners. Please do yourself a favor and buy these great ONE PIECE CHROME PLATED High Carbon Steel Nuts for your car - BEFORE you find out how terribly cheap "fake" acorn nuts are. The factory lugs will warp and tear the steel nut underneath (especially if the shops use an impact wrench and overtighten!) leaving you with a tire wrench that doesn't match what's left. These Gorilla Lug Nuts fit perfectly (13/16 wrench…

  • Free for educational purposes

Thank god for spares

Thank god for them. I have a 2006 Chrysler 300 and I swear every time I get them to flip the tires we have a problem with our nuts getting swollen(?). I have no idea what the exact details of that are, but they said something about the lid bulging, making it impossible to remove without ruining it. Every time I do regular tire maintenance, I'm paying $13 for a Chrysler nut, and seriously, I'm way too cheap for this crap. Bought and so far they have worked like a charm. I wish they came in packs

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Hard to tell

A worthy upgrade to standard nuts.

It's worth avoiding the headache associated with Mopar two-piece nuts. I ordered them for an 08 charger, they should also fit any 06-10, Magnum or 300 charger (and maybe 11 and up, just can't test it). They fit perfectly and look and feel better than traditional nuts. They are made in one piece so you don't have to worry about the "skin" coming off and being difficult to remove like with the standard products. Make sure you have a 13/16 inch socket wrench to throw in the trunk. The standard…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Fine

The finish is excellent but be careful not to cut the strands.

I do a lot of autocross racing and the stock nuts on my Mustang failed after a short time with frequent tire changes (road on R-Comps before race, R-Comps on road on the way home, lather, rinse, repeat ). The stainless steel cup on the stems began to stretch and burrs formed on the hexes, and the burrs on the shank became extremely difficult to remove from the socket. I bought the gorillas knowing they are solid steel and hopefully they will live up to their name and really serve as nuts for a…
