Got my hopes up and called AFS, but they do NOT carry locking lug nuts for the 2000 L's. Since they are selling the 16 lug sets for the '99s I assume that they are selling the ones that Gorilla makes. Has anyone received any recent info about the McGard locks that are supposed to be sold through Ford dealers?

I ordered a set of the 14mm lockers from my local dealer and have been waiting for over three weeks. They have a part number; but, are yet to produce a set for me. Vapor lugs

 

Following above post I called SVT and asked Quentin about locking lug nuts for my 2000. He didn't know nuttin 'bout the McGard locks that I have had on back order for 5 months, but he did tell me that the locking lugs for the Expedition would work on my L., but they are black. So I went to the dealer who sold me my truck and asked a parts guy if the Expedtion locks would fit my L. studs. He wanted to know if the L. was a 4x2 or 4x4. Then he wanted to know what year Expedition. He went and looked in some parts books, then asked to see the p/n for the locks I have on b/o. After further research he informed me that that is the same p/n as the Expedition lugs. Sheeeeessh! These people have their heads wedged so far they will never see daylight. Does anyone have a p/n for a 20 lock set that will fit the 14mmx2 studs on a 2k L? I don't care if they are black, they can always be chromed, and even black they've got to look better than 4 hubs on 4 cinder blocks.

 

this company has the L rims in a 5x5.5 also, which will fit a lot of vehicles. they also have chrome lugs and locks for ours too.

Thanks BBQ... some good info on this site.

For reference:
Stock Lightning wheel offsite: +14mm (5.8" backspace)
Wheel / hub centerbore: 3.425"

(per the above site)

 

I was checking out there chrome Lightning wheel and they said the center cap has the AFS logo on them instead of the SVT center cap. What is the AFS logo?

 

Got this response from AFS

Hi Doug,
I'm sorry but we do not have any locks for the 2000 Ford Lightning, but
appreciate your interest in our products. You might need to try Ford. They
may be the only ones to have them since they changed the lug nut and studs.
Best regards,
JJ - AFS Wheels
