    Hey guys just wanted to give out some info for those of you who wanted black lug nuts with your aftermarket wheels. Since regular acorn lug nuts dont really grab much thread, and some feel its very unsafe. Here is the part number

    Gorilla Automotive 21138ETBC

    Autoplicity.com has them for the best price. I got 24 of them for $34 shipped.

    Nice find, but not all after market wheels have the same lug nut style

    Yeah thats true, I added some dimensions for them if its questionable.

    Ive had them on KMC XD Monster Wheels and have them now on my Level 8 MK-6 wheels and I checked, there is about 0.050" gap between the most inboard portion of the lug shank and the outboard face of the wheel hub. I just wanted to be sure the lug nut extended shank did not protrude inboard past the inboard wheel face. That would definitely be an issue if the wheel was not seated all the way down to the hub face.
