i just purchased a set of 17x8.5 Icon Alloys Sixspeed Titanium Wheels and would like to know if i can use my black gorilla lug nuts.

anyone knows? based on what ICON's website indicates that they need to be 12mm x 1.50 and 60 degree. i have those installed right now on my OEM wheels

Hi Andres,

It all depends on which Gorilla Lug nuts you have...The amount of taper engagement is the key metric. The original Gorilla black lugnuts were insufficient engagement. They have since offered a better lug nut with correct engagement.

This are a couple threads on taper engagement you may wish to consult using the search function.

best,
Phil

here are some images. the only thing i did not like is the fact that i could not use the ICON center caps since i am using hubcentric rings to go from 108 to 93.1. i contacted ICON and they indicated they have a specific set of center caps for people using rings. i will let you all know if those will work.
