Default Lug Nuts

I am about to order my new rims for the 67. I am looking at lug nuts and was wondering what is the difference in standard and bulge lug nuts? Also are acorn and conical the same?

I always recommend Gorilla lug nuts!

They are ALL locking and have a nice socket to remove them without the "race track" on the end. They look like normal lugs, but require a special socket to remove.

Check 'em out

Hi,
Acorn and Conical should be the same, it refers to the angle of the seating area. This should be 60 degrees.

On the Bulge or standard, the bulge has an extended seating area. This sometimes prevents scratching on painted wheels around the seat area and better seating. The problem is if it is a thin socket area it can be tight.

Thanks for the info. I actually ordered them around 3pm our time. I bought the gorilla wheel installation kit along with the rims. It comes with 16 standard lug nuts and 4 locking also comes with 4 valve stems.
