The thread pitch is correct, and they look like the locking nuts on my 00. I would take a stab at yes.

For $10 more you could get 20 Gorrila nuts (lol) from summit. So, this makes me curious as to what makes these special?

The mopar ones are garbage, the lug key and/or lug itself usually strips out because of its design... and they rust fairly easy too...

Buy some tuner lugs, or some gorilla's. Much tougher and stronger, and the lug keys are a little harder to come by, which means someone will have a harder time trying to steal your rims...

mazda has a similiar design what mopar uses. i never had a problem with the mazda wheels locks. but i rather spend 80 bucks on something else than tuner lugs.

80 bucks???? seriously i got my tuner gorilas for 32 for all 20 lugs. They also have regular locking lugs as well.

well, ive seen a couple sets of tuner lugs for $80. $32 seems cheap to me and oem lugs never gave me problems so why need tuner lugs?

I think you misunderstood me. I was saying that Summit sells Gorilla locking lugs that are

normal

$36 for 20.
Just trying to help you out man. Friends of mine have told me that getting 4 locking lugs is pointless cause there are methods around getting them off at the expense of a tool (I'm summarizing), soooooo having 20 makes this even less likely.

Some wheels require the tuner lugs, I ended up getting tuner lugs b/c I was looking at some wheels that required them and then stuff happened that canceled that idea, but the tuner lugs work fine on regular wheels (I was assured by several people that there would be no adverse affect, and I haven't had any)

NEWay, in the end get what you want, just tryin to help out.
