Default Locking lug nuts
Just got new tires and wheels at Discount Tires. The wheels use a thin wall socket which is exclusive to DT. Do I need a locking lug nut to go along with theirs.

Gorilla or McGard make spline drive lugnuts that are for aftermarket wheels. Can order through summit racing.

x2 on the gorilla lugs via summit. Gorilla has great customer service too. Call em up and they'll let you know quick if they offer something that fits.

Hmmmm? Not sure. I have Black Rhino Keyhole rims. The key for the lugs is very long and skinny. Does that help?

Yes. That sounds like a thin wall. Could you possible send a picture of them when you get a chance? The one I got are nothing like the one I got from the dealer when I bought the jeep. Thanks
