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

Thanks for the update and pictures. The Gorillas are more high quality in person than they look in pictures. Definitely worth the $50+ for piece of mind.I received my Gorilla lugs yesterday and installed this afternoon... these lugs are really nice...solid...the way they should be! Upon changing 2 of mine got stuck I the socket... what garbage...it's like if you when you first discover the chrome clad wheels are fake. Who would of thought...as they age you are prone to have more trouble with them. I am so happy I found this thread and changed out with a high quality solid one piece lug. I even put a tiny bit of anti seize on a Qtip and worked around the threads of all the. Ew lugs prior to installing. I now know I am good to go if I ever need to change the spare. I highly recommend everyone switch these out...best $50 insurance you can spend! Here is a pic of my 3 year old lugs...they are showing a little wear in the seam area.
Did anyone find out if they have a black version? I guess I shouldn't be lazy and search myself. [emoji3]
" kicked in the balls by his mother "I hope the guy who invented these capped lugnuts gets kicked in the balls by his mother. Same for the ****** from Ram who decided it would be a good idea to run these on a Ram.
Well said Sir !Read this thread and got pretty concerned, like most others, that these factory lugs could become a nightmare some day. I have 4 of them that have only been removed once and looking these over, I have some thoughts:
The lug on the left already shows some stress from the regular socket I used to remove it. The regular socket does not slip all the way onto the nut. It only goes on about 3/4 of the way until it bottoms out. A deep socket goes all the way on. Also, the correct socket size is 22 MM. A 7/8 socket seems to fit but it is 22.23 MM, a little bigger than the 22 MM. That may not mean much as quality control on sockets is probably not that close. Unless perhaps sockets by Snap-On.
So, I think that if you use a quality deep 22 MM socket, and avoid using a rattle gun, the factory lugs will be fine for a long time. Break the lugs by hand with a big breaker bar, and set the rattle gun on a low torque to run the nuts on and off, but final torque them by hand.
Having just said all that, I just ordered a set of the Gorillas
Did you see what the guy went through to get them off?? lol.
If that happens to you guys, you will have wished you bought the Gorillas.
U understand the lugs are 2 pieces yes? Gorillas are one, no cap.
