Gorilla Lock Lugs

I have a 2003 Evolution 8 with stock Enkei wheel set. I want to buy Gorilla locks and I've already bought a set but fear that I haven't done enough research.

I've bought this set, but haven't opened it yet:
Gorilla Automotive 71733 Acorn Chrome Lug Nut and Lock System (12mm x 1.50 Thread Size) : Amazon.com : Automotive Gorilla Automotive 71733 Acorn Chrome Lug Nut and Lock System (12mm x 1.50 Thread Size) : Amazon.com : Automotive

I look around at some forums and found that if I were to buy aftermarket wheel locks that they need a washer.

Can anyone offer suggestions, advice on what to get (particularly in the Gorilla line up)?

the stock wheels are not designed to be used with acorn style lug nuts, I believe these are the correct ones. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/go...Fe3m7AodZxIAOw
or you could always just get the OEM locks from the dealer.

Acorn style nuts do not work with our oem wheels, you need mag style lug nuts. If you want gorilla lock nuts, the ones you need for our oem enkei's are Gorilla Automotive 73633SM Short Mag Wheel Locks. My oem wheel locks stripped so I took all the measurements and ordered a set of these, they work perfect.

The ones I posted are spline drive nuts, basically every one is a wheel lock, not sure if they have that style and size in standard lugs like you posted or not. Pm me if you have any other questions. Amazon has them, maybe you can just exchange the ones you bought for the ones I posted the part number for.
