I could be wrong but I dont think Discount Tire uses the Gorilla brand...its something "similar" and I agree they dont last very long.

 

Yes they are very rusty now especially the spare tire lugs. I do live by the ocean but I'm tired of that excuse from these companies. I feel like if they are advertising powder coating no matter where you live the product should not rust.

 

Well... with all the rust comments... I decided to go with the BLACK Pro Comps. Putting them on my BLACK 2dr JK with the Black and Machined XD ADDICTS.

 

I got the black ProComps and they are garbage. Rusted in maybe 2 months. Look like hell, will be replacing them with Gorilla's. If I can get 2 years out of them I will be ecstatic!!

 

I have 2years as of last month on my gorillas. Slightly faded, still good, after 4 tire rotations, re torques, etc.

 

I have a set of spline-drive gorillas rip-offs that I got off e-bay. They look just like the gorillas, are solid piece and after a year still working out ok.

 

Picked up a set of gorillas for $11 on eBay.

 

I got the 24 pack of Gorilla guards so every lug nut on my jeep is a lock that uses the same key.

 

They may have changed from 2013. The box for the wheel installation kit I just received from DTD with my new wheels have the Gorilla logo and Discount Tire on the box. The DTD salesman told me they were Gorilla brand. Probably made by Gorilla and rebranded as Discount Tire. I like that they are about the same cost as other lug nuts and I don't have to buy a separate set of locking lug nuts. I've had them on my Jeep for two weeks and no rust yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.




Breathing life into dead threads is my hobby.

 

That's great info! I will have to hit up my local Discount Tire store and ask
