Gorilla Black Chrome Lug Nuts

I need closed ended Gorilla lug nuts but am not sure which to get.....I want black chrome and closed ends....but not sure if I need conical seat or not.

I have STOCK IROC wheels (2 lines)....89 IROC wheels. I found these so something like this that will fit my stock iroc wheels.

Also what is the diff between the 'standard locking' and 'standard and locking' systems as I do want them to be a locking lug nut....

Thanks. BLACH CHROME ONLY!

P.S. Blach chrome only comes in Conical seat? Are my wheels conical seat if not....who else makes lug nuts that lock and are black chrome. Thanks all.

yes, you'll need a conical seat. conical=cone-shaped. 12mmx1.5 is the size.

those look like a severe pain in the a**.

Standard locking.....all of the lug nuts are locking lugs (a big pain in the A**)
standard and locking........you get 16 regular lugs and 4 locking lugs

These are the ones right? That would be perfect.

Why would they be a pain in the ***? I wont be touching my wheels all the time if they were standard locking? Only when i do breaks and things like that.

All your questions were answered it looks like. I just saw Gorilla and wanted to see what was going on here becuase I just bought some for my new wheels I also ordered. I hope they are good lug nuts, I got the standard and locking chrome ones.

Yeah...thats funny...but I think I am going with the first ones also....I wont be dealing with taking my wheels of often except for brake jobs and such....also the more security....the better..for me at least as my car was already once broken into....THEY GOT NOWHERE because of the VATS...they wanted to joy ride...thats all because the cds and player were still in the car...everything else to?

Anyway how are the tuner locking different?
