Lug nuts and locks. What to buy?

[rascole]

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.

Acorn style, silver, but need a lock for OEM spare as well.

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.

Are all the keys the same or do you have to match up the code on the package? Like door locks at home depot.

 

[Portager]

The keys are unique, but if you need more that one box order them from Gorilla and request them keyed alike. They will make them with the same key and you'll get a second key socket.

I'm running McGard's on mine. They sell standard nuts and matching lock nuts...black or chrome...made in USA....

Jegs, Summit, or Amazon usually have the best prices.

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.

Yep, I seen a good idea elsewhere for a Hi Lift lock/mount. I'm going to use the extra locks to secure the Hi Lift on my rack.

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.
