Wheel Locks - Locking Lug Nuts Revisited

[Gary E]

Older threads had discussed this but without much conclusion.

It doesn't appear that there are locking lug nuts available that match the original Raptor "bulge" seating surface nuts.

Gorilla makes some nice lug nuts with the "bulge" style large seating surface (see image), but do not have (that I could find) locking nuts with the large surface area. The nearest they supply (#76601) have the standard 3/16" mating surface (see image).

Anyone find or have something better?

McGard.

I opted for no lock nuts - pain in the butt if they strip or lose the key.

I looked those, but they do not look like they have the larger "bulge" seating surface, and I wonder if they can handle the 148 pound torgue requirement of the Raptor.

These are black, probably available in chrome. They have the standard 60° bulge. I got mine through Apollo Optics.

@Gary E These are the McGard lock nuts that came with my gen 2.

Don’t have a part # but such an animal exists.

Yes, but Gen1 lug nuts are different than Gen 2.

Yes, but Gen1 lug nuts are different than Gen 2.

****, sorry about that. I see it’s different threads.

Different length too.
