Looking to buy some new lug nuts and locks. Currently don't have any so wondering what everyone else is using. I know it is a M12x1.5, looking at maybe Gorilla lug nuts.

Are these your original Hummer rims the OEM ones you're talking about? If so you need to check to see if they're tapered or an acorn style.
Also what color are you looking for black, blue, silver? We need more info thanks.

I got the Gorilla lug nuts. I got enough to put them on every lug of every wheel and the spare. Haven't had any trouble and the same impact ready socket key fits every lug nut. I also have a spare socket key.

Update, I followed Portager's idea and ordered 28 lug nut locks all keyed the same from Summit Racing. My only problem was with the spare, with the acorn style they bottom out on the stud before they fully tighten the wheel against mount. I added 3 - 1/2" lock washers to space the rim out enough to get the nuts to fully tighten.

I got the low profile lugnuts so they would fit under the stock center caps (as opposed to the acorn style) so I didn't have that problem. So far my locking lugnuts have performed flawlessly (no wheels have fallen off or been stolen) and the impact wrench keys work great.

I was thinking the same thing for anything on the outside. If you have the key and a cordless impact wrench it will be quick to access. If you don't have key you don't need the jack.
