Default Lug nuts ????

Will the black lug nuts I purchased for my 2012 GS fit my new ZO6 I just ordered?

Thanks Jim! I believe they are all 12x1.5 acorn style but wanted to make sure.

12mm x 1.5

Get these if you want locking: https://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Autom.../dp/B00280CSF0 (pain in the *** though if you change your brakes/tires regularly for track use - ask me how I know)

Get these times 5 if you don't want to deal with a pain in the *** locking lug:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Both are good quality and I have used and use them on each of my current Z06s.

They fit. Amazon is not always right on these things.

Yes, I have them on my '38. They work very well and are pretty easy to remove and install, very clean looking when installed as well.

Each is slotted, good quality key and not much harder than removing regular lugs. I do not use impacts on my lugs.

EACH lug has a keyslot and is locked. They work pretty well, but are a pain if you are changing the tires/brakes often.

Also, THESE WORK ON 2015, 2016 ETC Corvettes. They are on mine now!!! NEVER MIND what Amazon says. They don't own Corvettes!

Going to get TSW nurburgring wheels, friend said gorilla lug nuts works on the wheels. So any of the lug nuts in gorilla site with 12mm x 1.5 would work?

Do I need to worry about hex size, xx Degree Conical Seat etc?

Need 10 lug nuts for the rear wheels.
