I got Gorilla lugs with my Procomp 7089s. Hated them. They are a different size than stock lugs, making all my wheel tools obsolete. Except Four Wheel Parts only installed on the road tires; not the spare. So, I ended up carrying two sets of tools. And, the Gorillas are so large they barely fit into the Procomp 7089s, making all my easily $10K investment in work shop tools obsolete. Needed all super thin wall sockets. When a Gorilla lug stripped out for no good reason, I shit-canned the whole bunch of 'em (that is not language I use often). Stocker lugs for me.

Stock lugs for me - you have to get a thin walled socket, but other than that, no problems.

cragar soft 8's here, shipped with big ass lugz that my tools didnt fit and the wheel lock had an even different size, so i needed 2 different sizes tools to take off my wheels, switched back to my stock lugs about 5,000 miles ago, no problems.

I have OCD with keeping my lug nuts torqued, and the OEM lugs keep proper torque, the ones they shipped with the wheels needed to be retorqued every few days as they would loosen up. I believe they were gorilla lugs.
