I am sure this question has been asked before, but I am thinking about buying a set of Gorilla lug nut locks and I need to find out exactly what size the lug nuts are on my base 2012 C6 coupe with stock alloy wheels...

Thanks...!

Ohhhhh, I don't like to see that. I was planning on getting Gorillas based on the good reviews here over the years. Hmmmm. Hope your rusting set is just an anomaly.

Stay away from no name vendors on Ebay/Amazon, purchase from someone on the forum who will take them back if there is a problem.

I've bought from two online vendors who also have a presence in those other areas. Just because someone sells their products through those avenues does not automatically make them bad as you insinuate. Some CF vendors also sell there too.

Both lugnut purchases were handled professionally by a live person who answered the phone in 2 or less rings. They were shipped out the same day as promised. When they arrived I inspected them and was pleasantly surprised that the quality was superior to the OEM units.

I've had the wheels on/off maybe as much as 50 times in the two years since I bought them and there is no sign of rust or any marks of damage. Neither set cost over $20 including shipping.
