Black lug nuts

[Symetry]

I want to change lug nuts to black ones .

Does anyone know the overall length, and OD of the oem lug nuts?

I found that the thread size is
14x1.5 mm.

QUESTION # 2,
I want to have the front windows tinted, can I get them to match in color to the rear ones?

Thanks

Jim

Not sure of any of the specs but Gorilla black chrome are a good lug nut. I’ve ran on my truck for five years, and they still look great.

2nd the vote on Gorilla’s products. They do however know what they want for them.

I have used these particular lug nuts on every car that has aftermarket wheels. The base "rotates" so as to not dig into and score the seating surfaces. I've had no less than 10 sets of these and will continue to use them. I have black ones on my ST. Not the cheapest, but I swear by them....McGard spline drive. You can find whole wheel kits.....I personally like them all to be the same vice one locking lug.

Question 2: I had the front windows tinted 20% to match the side windows.

I too hate the chrome lug nuts on the black wheels. I just bought these black Gorilla lug nuts (Qty:20) on eBay for $57.95 - $2.89 each. I chose these since I do not need or want the locking lug nuts. They are being put on at the dealer Friday when they check my recall and rotate the tires.

This is what I use with the Niche Misano M117, brand is called white knight (from autozone).

# Assuming yours got factory tint? Shops could either remove the existing tint and reapply ones that match the back or add over on top

Jim, I bought the Gorrilla's as some have suggested, I got the Gorilla Automotive 96643BDX and have them mounting the stock wheels and tires on BORA 1.25" spacers, just ordered ST centers and valve stem caps to match and complete the look. Apologies to the purists, it's dirty winter pics that I have.

Yeah not sure about the 2021. I called Gorilla and they told me these fit the 2020 ST.

Those gorilla ones did not fit with my aftermarket wheels on the ‘21. I didn’t try to see if they were compatible with the stock 21” rims so I’m not sure if they didnt fit cause of the wheels or 20/21 have differences in lugs

Yeah these fit the 2020 ST stock black wheels but not aftermarket wheels or the 2021 apparently. See below.

Might just be the wheels then

I know I'm having problem finding the ones that fit my 21" , 2021 wheels.

OD dia, cone dia, overall length , with 14x1.50 threads.

Everything I find says it won't fit my vehicle.

I'm lost.

I'm gonna pull one tomorrow and measure it .

I'd call the guys at Gorilla. They were very helpful telling me exactly what model numbers to search for. If they don't have something for the 2021 I'd be surprised.

I think I’d be a little surprised if weren’t the same lug nut as the 2020 ST but I’d sure like to know. Please keep us posted.

 

[92onward]

This is how it sits on the 21” wheel, does it look remotely close for you 2020 folks?

 

[rckreisher]

Mine go on tmorrow so I will take a look and let you know.
