PM me and I'll give you the GM set that I took off my car for the price of postage only.

Gorilla. I've been using them on all my cars for many years.

I got this set as well for my LT (along with McGard black chrome lug nuts). Works great, and the McGard lock is what GM sells as the factory locking lugs, just in GM packaging at a markup. I added a rubber cap to keep the key free of gunk.

Gorilla lugnuts corrode. Had 2 sets with the same result...

McGard. I have an extra set of black ones if you're interested, in excellent shape. I'd do 50% off msrp + ship.

I have (2) sets of Black Gorilla Lugs.. one on my Camaro and the other on my Tahoe.. and have had ZERO corrosion.

I strongly recommend the Gorilla Lugs..

Some are ok, others do rust. They used to be consistently good.

Another data point, my Gorilla lugnuts began to rust after only 2000 miles. That's the main reason I switched to McGard, and I haven't had a problem since, they are still looking flawless after 5000+ miles.

I have the Gorilla locking lug nuts and haven't had any problems. I have read that people had the Mc guard ones break since are torque is 140 ft lbs. I have had Mc guard on other cars, but they had a lower torque spec.

Yes, this is a great deal - and it is the same as the McGard set.

As a past Gorilla fan (had them on my prior car), I hate to say that the black "system" lug nuts on my 2016 developed rust all too soon, as others noted they experienced. To top things off, when I was choosing black lug nuts for my 2021, I realized the ones Gorilla spec'ed for the sixth gen did not have the bulge cone seat that the non-locking factory and McGard lugs do. On that basis alone, I am glad I switched over to the McGard lug nuts.

Ran gorilla in the past "black chrome" no issues w corrosion. May want to pay attention to wheel cleaner you are using - some happen to be very strong acids!

These get beat on/off 15-20 times a year w wheel swap between autox.

Got a new set in garage to go on w new wheels.
