Gorilla nuts on a Jaguar #73138T
A while back I went though the purchase of some replacement lug-nuts for my 05 STR because of the issues others had had and I was putting in some new brake pads. I ended up using the Gorilla brand chrome as spec-ed for a Lexus ES350. Now that I've finally gotten around to putting them on I can report that they fit fine but utilize a different socket size. I think it's 13/16" so I picked up a nice inexpensive long handled torque wrench in a case, socket and extension at Harbor Freight and that's what I carry in the trunk. These were very reasonably priced. The finish was decent.
Gorilla #73138T $63 inc. shipping.
They're on Ebay but I bought them over the phone.

Good info Bob. I had a Gorilla set (with a security lug for each wheel - and a socket for the security lug) on my X type. Fit and finish on them was very good. They were also 13/16ths.
I highly recommend this socket set for protecting the finish on the bolt holes on the wheel:

Soory, but I too had this real funny visual based on the title of this thread...
These real scary looking "things" hanging from the leaper, flapping in the wind, as I drive down the highway....

Ahhh, I might be more concerned about just who DOES want to knock on
your door ...
But this does remind me of a suggestion I had at this summer's invite to drive the 2011 XFR and XJ supercharged cars at the Monticello track. A very nice event indeed.
Well I noted that the standard cars WO superchargers looked the same as those with the supercharger (R models excepted). MY suggestion was that those with supercharger have a modified leaper on the trunk sportin' a set of nuts!

Wow this thread is epic off-topic. Awesome!
If someone makes a Leaper with a set of cajones, that would be quite interesting. As much as the "truck nutz" seen on pickups around here is in poor taste, somehow it would seem ok to have a pair on an STR/XFR Leaper.....

Next thing you know the guys with the 1.5 and 2.5lb supercharger pulleys will be bragging how big their Leaper Nutz inflate compared to the stockers.
And a twin screw supercharger's boost would impede your frontward visibility.....
