The Outrage Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Update: Per McGard, the correct lug nuts for use on a 2011 or 2012 Ford Edge Sport, in chrome black, are model number 64030. I purchased some McGard lug nuts, model 64029. For those who have installed aftermarket lug nuts; will these work properly? Are the lugs' overall length sufficient to adequately secure the wheel? The specifications follow: Type: Cone Seat Bulge Thread Size: 1/2" - 20 Overall Length: 1.45" Edited February 17, 2012 by The Outrage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outrage Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) I called McGard and they were able to assist me with selecting the correct lug nuts. The appropriate lug nuts for use on a 2011 or 2012 Ford Edge Sport, in chrome black, are model number 64030. They have an overall length of 1.5 inches.

The Outrage Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) I received a follow up call from McGard. They do not currently produce matching locking lug nuts in chrome black. Those that they do produce are too short and would bottom out on the threads.

Dingo Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Ditch McGard. I've had these on since I bought it in June and have had no problems, they look great, and they're all locks. http://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Automotive-71683NBC-System-Chrome/dp/B00280CTEA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1329769166&sr=8-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outrage Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Ditch McGard. I've had these on since I bought it in June and have had no problems, they look great, and they're all locks. http://www.amazon.co...29769166&sr=8-3 I've read on multiple forums that the black chrome Gorilla lug nuts have issues with rust. The McGard lugs have a lifetime rust warranty, and the Gorilla lugs do not (only one year), which would indicate that rust is likely a valid concern. Also, I believe McGard lug nuts are manufactured in the United States. The Gorilla lug nuts have no country of origin listed, but I've read they are produced in Taiwan. McGard claims different lug nuts are required for the 2011 and up model years on the Edge (the thread depth required is greater). Gorilla lists the same lug nuts for all years of the Edge, from 2007 on, but that may only mean that their application guide has not been updated. McGard's website application listing is also out of date. McGard lug nuts are included from the factory with the Edge Sport, so my assumption is that they are aware of the requirements of the Edge. I had considered the Gorilla lug nuts, but the reports of rusting have kept me away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I've had many of gorilla's with no rust. Also, McGard comes stock because they're the lowest bidder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam I Am Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I agree with Dingo, I've used Gorilla for years and have never had an issue with rust. Living in NYC with the amount of salt they like to use on these roads, the Gorilla's have been well tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
