Ford Braptor black lug nuts - better / worse than other options?

[PaulNY]

Has anyone installed the Ford Bronco Raptor black lug nuts? Just curious if they are any better/worse that other options out there? I have Ford points so am unsure if it's worth using them on these?

The Ford lugnuts are crap. The 2 piece design fails (look up ford lugnuts swelliing) after a few years and you will get stuck somewhere with a lug wrench that no longer fits. Ford will not warranty them and if they do replace them - they will replace them at your cost for the same crap. There was even a lawsuit a few years back about it. Get yourself some McGards like these

This is great, and thank you for the heads up. I almost hit the purchase button on the Ford ones.

It appears McGards are pretty proud of their lug nuts but I assume at that price, they are quality and don't nick/peel easily?

lastly, what about just the Ford locking lugs? Crap or ok to purchase?

Thanks so much for the reply and us New Yorkers gotta stick together like @Bschurr stated

Edit: So, when I enter the 64034 part # on Summit, I get this message:

Summit is saying I need part# 64074 for the Raptor?

The specs for each 64034 & 64074 appear to be the same to me —> 14x1.5 RH conical bulge in steel black chrome.

Looks like the only technical difference is the 64034 are are slightly longer at 1.95” and the 64074 are 1.64” long.

and, don’t forget our wheels are 6 lug each plus 3 for the spare so you need to order 7 packs of 4

Thanks for clarifying neighbor. So, based on that information, I assume the slightly longer 64034 ones are preferred as Johnny Mo mentioned?

Thanks for clarifying. Last question, I think lol. Do you know anything about the Ford locking lug nuts? In the picture, it's hard to see if they are two part or will have issues as you've mentioned with the regular lug nuts.

I'm selling an almost complete set (20) of black McGards (64074) for the stock wheels, VERY lightly used. I'm only selling since I bought aftermarket wheels and these don't fit. They are the highest quality back lugs out there for this fit. These are a huge discount compared to the new price I paid. Check them out here.

I don't - the McGard ones are 1 piece and I opted out. If someone wants to take my 90+ lb wheels and tires - that'll take time...I'll know, and that'll become a big problem for them.

I have a set of brand new, still in the box, black lug nuts from Mishimoto. These are light weight, life time warranty, and way better than the Ford or McGuards. The set also includes the locking lugs too.
I would sell them for $75., plus shipping.

How many do you have? I need 27.

Let me double check for you. I am out for dinner so I will let you know tomorrow morning. I think it is 27, but I can not remember exactly...

Good morning, so I did a check for you, and you get 20 regular lug nuts and 7 locking lug nuts, 27 in total.

Aluminum lug nuts?? Really. Better than OEM and McGard?

I'm sure they work, but not for me, especially on a six lug 7000 lb off roader.

To each their own, I suppose but the "way better" is subjective at best.
