Hey guys, I just bought new rims for my ram. I have a '98 1500 club cab 4x4, i bought 16x8 dick cepek torque rims and i need to get new lug nuts for the truck.
I'm looking at these lug nuts and want to make sure they will fit

thanks in advance

 

They should fit without a prob....why you going with spline nuts

 

If those are chrome caps over a nut, they will corrode between the two, and the caps will not hold on to the nuts. I.E. You won't be able to get them off. If they are solid..... might be ok.

 

I did some further looking and I think I like these a lot more http://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Automo.../dp/B000CMH4IW
and I'm looking for these types because I don't trust people, this give them a little challenge.

 

Those are definitely caps over nuts. I really dislike that style, after a few years of various ugly weather, and, god forbid.... off roading, they will disintegrate like a paper suit in a downpour.

 

is there any that you can recommend, that are better quality that are priced like those?

 

i think the gorilla's are solid steel, and not chrome caps.
the caps wouldn't hold up.

Hmmmm. could be......

Keep in mind, there are sockets made especially for removing wheel locks (which is essentially what those are...) that will buzz those off in short order. Granted, it makes it a bit more difficult, but, only a bit.

Better than nothing though I suppose.

 

im confused....so are you saying the gorrilla ones I was looking at are alright????
One of the reasons I liked these better then some lock lug nuts was because there all locks on all 20 lug nuts, not just 1 on each wheel. So that means if anyone is messing with my wheels it will take longer and better chance of people seeing. (i park in a parking lot) (which is in the middle of three apartment building meaning the truck can be seen)

 

i think the gorilla's are fine. at first i thought they were real expensive on amazon at 43, but they're even more on ebay. and you're right, it will slow down or stop a wheel thief. just be sure and write down the code number of you lugs, and i'd even buy an extra socket just in case i lost the original. sometimes a tire shop will lose them.

a long time ago there was a chome lug nut product that was just a chrome cap over a steel lug nut. the caps tended to stretch, and slip on the nut. then you had to chisel the cap off to get the lug loose. i don't think the gorilla's are like that.
