Reddit reviews Gorilla Automotive 21133BC Small Diameter Acorn Black 5 Lug Kit (12mm x 1.50 Thread Size) - Pack of 20

For that range on a stock vehicle, there's a few things I would recommend:

1. Rear Motor Mount. Not exciting, but it's 100% recommended eventually and will make the car feel better (less wheel hop, no problems down the line with a blown mount). Does require some tools to install (jack, stands, sockets) but is very straightforward. Popular options from Whoosh, Cobb, lots of companies. $90 - $150 or so depending.
   
   
2. Pierce Front Chassis Brace. Great product, will make the car feel more together and reduce wheel hop under hard acceleration. They come in a 2pt, 4pt, and full 6 point versions. I personally have the 2, it's great, but I want to upgrade to a 6 at some point. Also a 2 point version from Whoosh that is cheaper and virtually identical. Requires same tools as the RMM. $100 - $300 depending on type and company.
   
   
3. Hi Flow Air Filter. Simple, cheap, and most people end up getting them anyway. Plug and play, just need a screwdriver. $30 - $70 depending.
   
   
4. Gorilla Lug Nuts. Sounds weird, but stock FiST lugs are atrocious and will fail eventually... save him the headache and get him some newer, better ones. Ones like THIS work great and are cheap. Need a lugwrench and a preferably a tall cliff to chuck the old ones off. $30 - $60 depending.
   
   There's plenty more you could go with, but it's hard to know how far he's planning to take the car.

These are what I've got. Have been used on stock wheels and 3 other sets; been through 4 winters; seasonal tire changes; rotations every other oil change and they have held their finish great and have kept the wheels on the car.

Yup, this is what I bought after my jeep was stolen, and I haven't had a problem since.

They should fit, but for that price you might as well get some 'aftermarket' ones.

These are the ones I use.

I use these. I've had them for 4 years and besides being dirty they still look the same. I take my tires off all the time too but no issues.

Total, after installation, including tires/wheels/install fees/tax/etc, everything came out to just over $1,100, but could be $30 cheaper because I got new Gorilla lug nuts (fuck the stock, tin covered ones).

fiesta lugnuts size : 12x1.5

Couldn't get them mounted today (they have Dz102 with a 205/50/15 on them as of today)

Stock Lug nuts wouldn't fit with them on so i bought some of these to see if I can get them mounted Thursday!

> I tried your 2nd link, https://www.ebay.com/itm/163194228589, meh... not so impressed. The seller sent me a 2nd bottle after I showed him how dark it was compared to stock. The 2nd bottle was a bit better, but not by much.

Thanks! That's exactly the input I was looking for. The eBay seller actually also replied to me overnight with the following

>To be honest we are not too sure on the US Spec models.

I did do some research and found out that even though the US and Euro Rado Grays were supposed to be the same, they may have been slightly different since its allegedly a very hard color to mix. Also found the paint code for Rado Gray, but I can only find one reference to it anywhere on the web, and it happens to be Color N Drive (same kit as the Amazon link in my OP). I may actually give that one a try. Will report back if I decide to do it.

As for lug nuts, I am planning on ditching the OEM ones. Currently I'm using the set that came with my steelies from Tire Rack and just got this set of black Gorilla lug nuts for when I go back to summers.

Yes, there are plenty of posts on here about them. I preemptively bought these and they have been just fine: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O0AMZS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&sa-no-redirect=1

These are the Gorilla lugs I put on my car last week:

I have no idea if you're screwed or not.

lug size is M12 x 1.5


lug pattern is 5 x 100


so something like this

These are what I have on my car.

I’ve had them since January 2018 (According to my amazon page)

I don’t know if it’s a solid piece or a cap, but the way it’s splined, you don’t get the sheering of the bolt that the OEM ones do.

I haven’t had any issues or warping with mine either, and I take my wheels off often enough rotating them and such.

Good time for you to buy some locking lug nuts to keep those nice new wheels safe, like these: http://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Automotive-21133BC-Diameter-Thread/dp/B001O0AMZS/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1458856094&sr=1-1&keywords=gorilla+lug+nuts

While you probably can still remove them without the key, it won't be without some effort, and it's at least a bit more difficult to remove than the stock bolts.

I went with these on recommendation from several people in this sub. They feel pretty high quality and look great with black wheels.

Got it. And yep, you'll just need thinner/'tuner' lugs for the wheels.
Lots of people (including myself) run Gorilla Lugs and have had good experiences. Of course any lugs a shop provides should do just fine as well.

Here are the ones I bought and they fit:

I think I just looked up the size of the stock ones and found some with matching thread dimensions.
