    Any suggestions on quality black lug nuts for a 2021 SR5 Sport?

    Just purchased a set of '21 TSS wheels and am looking for a quality set of black at reasonable price. Don't trust Amazon reviews. Any good experience, where to purchase?

    I’ve had eBay ones they rust within a year. My wife has gorilla brand in black and they still look great they are like 4 years old. I plan on buying a set of them myself.

    I got these and several others have followed.
    Order from the site directly, it is cheaper. They give you the extractor for free and also free wheel lock covers.

    Working on it
    Camburg , with sleeve , been on over 2yrs , only problem I found was when mounting wheels don't tighten before wheels are on and up , then snug up and torque. When removing first time found sleeve wants to catch on aluminum wheels, be careful and a small pc of sand paper takes burrs off and just a dab of grease on sleeve only when remounting takes care of it. Love the sleeve it gives just another 3/8" of holding on threads.

    Those caps are good and you can spray a little hairspray in them to keep them on. I just got tired of them and bought black lugs from Discount Tires. The only time I mess with them is when the tires get rotated. When I get home I have a little can of gloss black paint that I put on each lug with a tiny cheap brush and they are dried in the sun in five minutes and are good till the next tire rotation in six months. They alway look new!!!:) Even the best lugs you get are going to get dinged up with those impact wrenches so touching each one up with a little paint keeps them looking like new all the time.

    Ken,
    Why did you use hairspray?
    Just wondering, I haven't had any issues.

    I’ll agree with color lugs as well. Quality product and they serve their purpose well.

    if your truck has oem wheel locks, you’ll want 4 that are one size smaller.

    Gorilla's are what I have on our Black Rhino wheels.

    Every lug has a lock. My only concern is the replacement key is $$$ to ship to Canada if it ever breaks or goes missing.

    Is there a specific model from Gorillas that you guys recommend? I saw they had a couple of options for the Tundra. Thanks for the referral!

    Just to keep them on,,, never had a problem so y’all don’t freak!!!!!! GEEZ!!!! Just in the directions where it talked about cutting them to length it also said put a dab of hairspray to secure them. I never used it at first for the longest time but just started to use it to be safe. Using those reverse tweezer thingys took some doing to get them off. :) I posted about these a couple years back, without looking I think it was Colorlugs.

    When I search Gorillas and put in my truck it says that they will not fit vehicle... although I am pretty computer illiterate. May be because its a 21 and not updated???

    I'm assuming the TSS wheels don't require anything specific, maybe someone with TSS package knows? They won't be delivered until Thu so don't have them to assess.

    Bet that was pricey?? I tried that and took them a long time to find them and when they did per price was not good. I called Cool Springs and they didn’t have them in the system back then.

    I got OEM lugs from my dealer who matched another dealer 45mins away for 12.94/wheel. The free shipping is only on items over $75 on the online parts site. 645367FA-3919-4078-AFCD-AC521324447C.jpg

    I got mine on ebay from elmhurst toyota. They were $90 but i got a discount (i cant remember why) of $23. Worked out to $75 total. A little pricey i agree but they look great and they are OEM. Also if you go on your local dealers website and go to the parts section there are usually coupons for 20% off parts and also a 20% first responder or military discount too (if this applies). I just used one on TRD front and rear sway bars

    Looks like OEM is fairly reasonable from the dealership. The one closest to me wants WAY too much but I'm going to see if they'll price match. Another dealership a few hrs away had them for $82, if they ship I suppose that is feasible.
    Thanks for replies everyone Excited to get these wheels on!
