Stock lugs and the Gorillas are both 60 degrees.

These look like they might fit only 31 bucks? What do u guys think?

Even cheaper on ebay, good description in bottom page.

Got the Amazon green check This fits your:
2010 Dodge Ram 1500

Look at the reviews almost everyone is a Ram truck.

They are 7mm longer then the Gorillas, and wtf is with the top? But 25 bucks cheaper.

I don't know what everyone uses to remove wheels, I use a breaker bar and a socket.

Honestly, this is so ******* stupid that Ram can't give us solid lug nuts, I mean wtf is going on over there? I feel like putting by boot in someones ass. Same thing with the third brake light, these assholes really suck.

And remember, most aftermarket rims will require new lug nuts as the stock ones will not fit inside most aftermarket rims lug hole.

Your best bet, if you have aftermarket wheels is to get a set of 6 or 7 Spline lug nuts with a Spline Key, 19mm (3/4) for wheels with really small lug openings and 21mm (7/8) for wheels with slightly bigger lug openings.

I always get the 6 Spline 19mm lug nuts so I know that the lug nut and spline key will both definitely fit inside the wheel.

If you really wanna go all out, Gorilla makes a forged steel lug nut that fits our trucks. I've been meaning to pickup a set when I have an extra $100 to spend on lug nuts.

The main reason I would guess is these replacements will rust. The Mopar ones have stainless steel cap that ****** everyone off when they bulge. I only use a 22MM on mine but I saw some people saying 7/8 is what they use. 7/8 is slightly larger and will round them off!!!

I got am email into DP asking for options for the oem alloy rim.

Markcuda · Dec 19, 2016

I went with McGard, part number is 64073
$20 for four of them at Amazon.

Burla · Dec 19, 2016

So DP on ebay are really helpful, these are the right lugs for factory wheels 2010-2011. They are a little more, maybe even will make me chose Gorillas. But if you have any vehicle and are considering lug upgrade, go on Ebay and message DP. They emailed twice in like 3 hours, great service.

Factory versus after market wheels are often NOT the same lug nut.

They were same from 02-2011 9/16" switched to M14 in 2012.

Same posts, but same wheels?

Hemi395 · Dec 21, 2016

The wheels I believe are the same and the studs are roughly the same size but the thread pitch is what changed...

They just made them metric so they still fit in the holes the same and pitch is still 60 degrees bolt pattern is still 5 x 5.5 as far as I know.

Yes.

I just called gorilla and they stated their lifetime one piece lug designed for 2012-2016 Ram 1500 as well as other mopar i.e. Durango is part # 66147DX. I found on summit with 10off set of 16 lugs, as I have one lock on each. So four packs of 4 total $53.98 shipped. Mine should be here Sat

Good catch never want to deal with a stripped 2 piece lug nut typical "oem ****" to save a few bucks.

OP said that the Gorilla part number was 66148DX & Hipps said 66147DX.

I think these two part numbers are actually the same lugnut....just that the 66148DX is bulk order part number.....can anyone confirm this?

Hipps2000 · Dec 29, 2016

I believe you are right... they do sell in 4 packs as well as bulk. The part number I posted is what gorilla stated is designed for our trucks.

Confirmed: the 66148dx is bulk, called gorilla they stated sold in boxes of 40
The 66147dx sold in packs of 4.

So the ones on eBay are kits made up...same lugs, also get 20if you don't have locks. I even see on his page you can make an offer. He might even do a bit better on the price.

Hawkman · Dec 29, 2016

I want to make sure I am ordering the right part for my truck before I hit buy. Part number 66147DX is for the 2012 and newer Rams, does that include the trucks with the 20 inch "chrome clad" wheels? I ask because when I sent a message to the seller "tuneshop" their reply was that the didn't know what "chrome clad" wheels were. If you guys have the 20 inch chrome wheels on your Rams I will order a set of these tonight.

Thanks in advance,

Hemi395 · Dec 29, 2016

I used the 66148DX lugs on my 20" clads and they work fine so you should be good.
