Matte black lug nuts to replace OEM lugs

[InDaRed2]

Still trying to figure out how I won the lug nut lottery. Is there anyone else with stock black lug nuts? I can't be the only 1 .

Hard to tell from the pics you posted but your lug nuts look a lot longer than factory. I bet your dealer swapped them out.

Maybe pull one off and take some pics of it. We will be able to tell right away whether it's Ford or Gorilla or McGard or some no-name brand or just black caps on the stock lugs, etc. Did you change your valve stem caps? Those don't look stock either.

So I pulled one off today and surprisingly they are Gorilla nuts. The only thing I can guess is when it was delivered,my dealer saw how silly the chrome ones looked and thought He had better switch them out before I noticed it . Anyway it would have bugged the hell out of me and I would have switched it out if they didn't. They are nice and they do match perfectly. So sorry for all the confusion but at least we know that they didn't come from the Ford factory.

Very good now we know! Thanks for being a good sport about it and checking. With the better pictures we could have known for sure something was up - the Ford nuts have a bump on the top while those are the GM/Mopar style flat-top. Gorilla more recently started making the flat-top style as well as the bump-top that they have for a while. Personally, I like the flat-top style better, but you can't get a matching lock (yet), so that leads me to stick with the style with the bump on top.

OK, so my wheels (optional 17" AT wheels) are indeed 60 degree cone seat, so I found a set of black Gorilla lugs at CJ Pony Parts (a Mustang vendor) for $66, so I'm going this route.

I'll post pix when they come in, before/after.

(P/N in case anyone is interested: Gorilla 61148FSBC)

Before & after with stock & black Gorilla....

Subtle difference, but I like it.

This is timely....Just today I was sitting eating lunch looking out at my Mav thinking....I should switch to black lug nuts, it would look better.....

Along with suggestions here, I'll see what I can dig up..... I wonder if all the (aluminum) wheel types use the same spec lug nut? The seat spec is the critical part.

I am also looking for matte black lug nuts for my 23 Maverick hybrid. If you know where to find them let me No please. I purchased the black appearance package and the lug nuts are Crome.

UPDATE: DON’T BUY

Wheel Accessories Parts 20 Pcs M14 x 1.5 14 x 1.5 OEM Style Lug Nuts 611-204 |ACPZ-1012-D | ACPZ-1012-M | 1.66" Long Black Chrome 13/16" Hex Fits 2014+ Ford Mustang | 2020+ Explorer | 2020+ Maverick https://a.co/d/e9c6BjQ

So these went on fine and didn’t chip as I manually installed them.

A month later carefully removing them the paint chipped despite using protection as I described over the lug nuts.

The exposed metal will now surely rust.

Going to try the gorilla lug nuts instead.

Sorry wrong pic earlier

A warning about these as I had also previously recommended them. The paint in these chips when removing. Just happened to me.

This is the best deal I have found on these Gorilla lugs:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/400490952507

$70 with free shipping isn't bad. But I found that when I added them to my watchlist and waited a couple days, the seller sent me a private offer for $62 shipped. I haven't received them yet, but seller has good feedback and has sold a lot of sets, so I feel confident they will be ok.

Thanks for the tip. I added them to my watchlist a few weeks back and they sent me the same offer. Received last night. Good quality as expected.

Jeeze, I can't believe it took me 5 months to install these. I guess I was waiting until I needed to rotate the tires at ~10k miles, LOL.

Happy with the end result.

How are these holding up?

Great, still look like new! Worth noting, I don't use impacts, hand tools only, for tire rotations.
