Locking lug nuts

Hey guys... well im going to college soon and i dont want my wheels walking off. I'm looking into the gorilla locking lug nuts. Does anyone have them? How many do you have on each wheel? Will they match my origional lug nuts? What size do i get? thanks

You owner's manual has the size. If you're unsure about the look, go to the gorilla guard website and try to match part #'s or sizes and contact the seller to see which one you're looking at.

I've got a different style with one on each wheel.

Gorilla does a good job of making them fit in with your other lugs. Don't worry about the look if you're more worried about losing your wheels. Seriously, they're fine. The guys at Discount Tire told me one set would be enough. Sure, you can get more than one set for your wheels and it would slow down a determined thief, but I've been told by many that if they really want your wheels ... they'll get them. So, get at least one set and hope the real theives never come along. Here's a big, close-up shot of my wheels with the one at about 4 o'clock being the Gorilla lock:

I got all new lugs when I switched to my current wheels.

Do you still have stock lugs on your truck? I changed mine when I put my rims on and added a set of locks (I cant remember what kind) when I did it and you cant tell the difference between them and the others unless you look real close. I am pretty sure they are a different size than the stock ones though...infact I know they are one size smaller.

Also the locks will just very briefly slow down a thief...sockets designed to fit looking logs when the keys are lost are very easy to find...even Sears carries them. So just be for warned...if they have the time to take the othe 5 five off the one lock really isnt a big deal.
