Black Wheel Lug Nuts


Sport17

Recommended Posts

So, I just got my OEM 20" wheels painted black (stock was a polished finish). This is a 2017 Edge. I'd like to replace the chrome/whatever lugs with gloss black lugs to match the wheels (not a big fan of the cop car look). I'm having a really hard time finding an exact replacement - all the lugs seem to be the locking (key required) type or have a different drive size (22mm). From what I can tell, the stock is a 19mm drive [Edit - it is NOT 19mm, it is 21mm], m14x1.5 (although I haven't verified that).

 

Does anyone know the full and exact measurement (including drive size). I am certain that they are m14x1.5 but I'm not certain that they are 19mm. I guess it isn't that big of a deal but I'd just rather keep them matching the OEM lug wrench, if possible.

 

Attached some pics - sorry they're not the greatest. Wheels hadn't been cleaned and (as I found out), shooting a bright white vehicle with black wheels in the California sun is challenging. If you're on the sun-side, the wheels don't look black and if you're on the other side, you can barely see them. Ha. Anyway, you can a general sense of her new look.

 

Decided to experiment with the calipers - had them painted to match the wheel center cap. I like it - it's very subtle, unless you're looking for it.

 

Edit: These seem like they would fit but according to Amazon, they won't.. They are m14x1.5, 19mm hex drive so I don't see why they wouldn't. These also have a 60° seat - any idea what the stock is?

Edit 2/Update: I did verify that the drive is 21mm. So the only thing left to verify is the seat angle of 60°.

 

Edit Edit: See my update below...

Ok, I found some. I phoned Gorilla to find an exact OEM match. Apparently it's important to do so - the CSR explained that they did indeed have a Ford OEM version for the Edge. He explained the technical difference to me but he was pretty quick about it. There were two primary differences - the one I remember is that we need to use the "bulge" version.. I can't remember the other diff. Anyway, the part number is 61147BCX for the black lugs. I just ordered some from Summit Racing for $15/pack of 4.

 

Will update once I receive them and have them installed (to verify fitment).

 

Edit: I should also note - that part number (61147BCX is for the 20" wheels on the 2017 model year). Now, I imagine it fits other wheels (maybe even all of them) but I cannot verify that. I would recommend always verifying with the manufacturer for fitment before ordering!

How did those wheel lugs work out?

I'm looking at these for my Sport.

Thanks,

The "bulge" version of the Gorilla Acorns is what I should have bought. The ones I did buy last year are the correct 14 x 1.5 thread and 60 deg angle, but they are not flared. They still work, but the bulged conical area matches the factory lugs shape. At some point I need to replace them. Damn things are like $75 per set of 20 though! BTW the Gorilla part number for the black Acorn style locking lugs for the Gen II Edge is 96643BDX, the ones I currently have on that are not flared are 71643NBC.
