Sorry Mate, been a while since I've logged in.
No, I use the nuts you linked to.
Do you use a tapered washer between them and the rim? Like this

I’m looking to buy a set of these Gorilla wheel nuts from Brandsport in the USA but their online shop only has options to ship to the USA. I’ve sent them an email but have heard nothing back. For those that have gone down this path, how did you place your order?
Cheers

Thanks but I need the Gorilla extended thread nuts as I’m filling the 17” BMW wheel and need to get the full three count (>9) when fitted. Haven’t been able to source any locally.

Sorry Ralph missed this post at the time - answer is no as the BMW wheels do not need them as the nuts I used are a match for the BMW rims.

I got mine quite a few years back and there was no problem with shipping - just the cost which was about $50 for 30 nuts at the time. Later I bought nuts for another vehicle and had no problem.

I had the same thing happen to my car. I bought a set of new ones from the nutlugking.com.au
