    Robert, the stock shank style lugs will not work. you will need cone seated type of lugs. Either acorn or spline lugs will work. I prefer spline lugs myself.

    Any recommendations on brands to look at? I didn't even think about new lug nuts (dohh!!)

    You can go wrong with Gorilla black spline lugs. Check out their website for a part number. Lugs are 12mmx1.5.

    Sweet! Your links aren't showing up though:eek:.

    So I'm going to order the same lug nuts as you listed above. Can you post the link to the locking lugs you ordered too?
    I can't seem to find matching black wheel locks in the "slim diameter" style like the lug nuts. Am I just misreading something? I don't see the "slim diameter" locking lugs even listed on Gorilla's website:
    http://www.gorilla-auto.com/small-diameter-locks

    Is it okay to use these wheel locks instead:
    $18 Gorilla Automotive 71631NBC Acorn Black Chrome Wheel Locks (12mm x 1.50 Thread Size) Pack of 4
    http://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Autom...=1-4&keywords=gorilla+wheel+locks+12mm+x+1.50

    It looks like they are a different style though...

    Suggestions?

    Thanks!!

    Awesome, thanks for the link!!

    So does having a lug that is a different size (maybe different weight?) than the other ones make a difference in terms of balancing the wheel or vibrations?? Sorry for the newb/stupid questions, I've never upgraded wheels/lugs before! :eek:


    Thanks again for your help!

    Shouldn't have any effect. First off there not much different in weight. Secondly the Rotational mass of the lug nuts is so close to the center that it would take a rather large difference in mass in order for you to feel it. As long as you buy a set that somewhat matched you shouldn't have any problems.

    Vin, thank's for all the great info and for your help with the lugs!

    To all potential buyers, Vin is a stand-up guy and his customer service is TOP NOTCH! The wheels are also BEAUTIFUL! Pictures just can't do the wheels justice. They really are the best looking wheels I've seen to date for our trucks.

    Also, Vin was very accommodating with shipping schedules. I wasn't going to be home during the initial group buy shipment so Vin held off and shipped them to arrive here right when I got home (he said Wednesday, and sure enough, they arrived Wednesday!!). He definitely went out of his way to help me, both product and shipment wise. Greatly appreciated, Vin!

    A+ Seller!

    - Gary

    (PS - I'll post pictures of my new Bronze F-5's when my camera battery finishes charging!)
