If you have a few spares, let me know. The chrome caps have come off a few of mine and all my local stealership has are satin ones, no chromies. Anybody got a few extras?

[DOOM]

Yes, they failed. :rolleyes: Need replacements ;)

[Bradley G]

I could use at least 10. I replaced 4 last year, 2 this year and would like spares. If you have, are you coming to KY?

I may have that many, Ky does not look good for me rite now.

Considered buying the Gorilla Locking Nuts?

They look damn good and have the Acorn shape as the stockers.

And much more secure. Even if you're a LEO.

Had the same situation and opted for the Gorilla chrome acorn ( non-lock ) lug nuts. *The look of OEM but -none- of the poor quality.

How do you get Gorrilla nuts so shiny? Isn't that dangerous???:D

[Mr. Man]

If you have a few spares, let me know. The chrome caps have come off a few of mine and all my local stealership has are satin ones, no chromies. Anybody got a few extras?

Sorry to here your nuts are falling apart on you. Sometimes that happens when they get old. My nuts are good as the day I got them. Ms. D helps me keep them shiny and in tip to shape so when we go somewhere they really sparkle. Maybe you need to get your friends to help you wax your nuts so they are always polished. That way they won't fall apart so much in the future.

I'm not going to make Kentucky this year so I'm putting Doomie in charge of checking out MM2004's Gorilla nuts. Then he will give me a status report on if he thinks they are worth the effort it takes for a nut swap:D

[CBT]

Normally, yes, I would make nut jokes, but not this time, i have envied kentucky mikes nuts for years, and one day will have the same set up.

[MercNasty]

I have gorilla nuts. They were off my monte carlo ss, I need to go get some for the MM, definitely a great investment. and yes i have gorilla nuts no ifs ands or butts.

[Bradley G]

I can relate to your post Mr. Man,
I did not keep up on my nuts and they failed.
My nuts were off so many times that the skins came off.
The Nuts finally gave up and had to be replaced.
The good news is, the new replacement nuts are being treated very well!
Maybe not quite as nicely as Mr. Mans' nuts but still very nice!

They have been a little cold lately but I assure them that it will soon change.

All kidding aside.

That pic was taken last year and the Gorilla Locking Nuts were then 5 years old.

They are now 6 years old and look just as good.

~$50.00 for all 20 (shipped), you simply cannot go wrong.

Added security is a plus, and for $8.00 more, you can order an additional tool from Gorilla.

All this talk about nuts, skins and tools has wore me out.

Nite folks.

i agree i run the mcgaurd spline drive, and locks far more secure than stock!

Maybe Melonie will get you some new nuts if you point out what style your going for or you could just let her pick the nuts she likes. It's going to be a nice weekend why not take her shopping for some new nuts:D

[justbob]

Well Eric, she is the one in charge of nuts around here. Perhaps I should just let her do her job and handle it.......

[MercNasty]

Im no fag but I like those nuts, shiny after 6 years, i will try to order a set tomorrow. Just as Justbob stated the ones i had on my monte carlo ss were from Autozone and they have been in my garage for about 4 years, I thought they rusted from to sitting in the garage all that time. I guess i will be hitting up ebay. Dont get your rims stolen by a clone owner.

[justbob]

E, if you want, I could try and find a way to meet up with Brad to gather his nuts, put them in a delicate sack, and haul them down to KY. I'm sure mel would step up and cup them carefully in her hands for the long journey for ya?

So, do you want Brad's nuts? Easy answer.

Like I said, no gaurantees, but I will try. Been way busy at work.

[tbone]

I've never taken the time to look at my nuts, so I have no idea what condition they are in. :confused:

Tbone, u should check your nuts on a regular bases to make sure they are working properly and not stripped or rusted. u wouldnt want to loose one.

I prefer my nuts rest in a warm place, it's easier for application and you run less risk of stripping them and having them go off prematurely. Oh that's right, my nuts are no longer freezing in Chicago, you must be referring to Bradley's nuts.

None the less though, I'll bring my nuts right into KY, maybe upon arrival, Mel wouldn't mind holding my nuts for safe keeping? :beer:

[GetMeMyStogie]

When the skin on one of my nuts gets loose, it doesn't usually fall off before I notice it. When I remove the nut, that's usually when I see the problem. Before putting it back on, I use a little glue (silicone, actually, on a couple faces of the nut) to secure the skin to the nut. The skin stays put after that.
