OEM are stainless steel cap not chrome.
Gorilla are chrome plated, they might rust (probably will in the salt)
but at least you can get the wheel off

Here is the link where i got mine, they come loose all in a box, assuming thats how they offer them cheaper. Amazon has some as well, along with summit, etc.

This looks to be the Mcgard units
https://shop.mcgard.com/chrome-bulg...018&make=Ford&model=Expedition&action=related
Price looks to be between $16-$20 per 4 pack between amazon and summit, so you are looking at ~$100-$120, without lockers.

One more question, does the factory lug wrench fit the new Gorilla nuts? I see it says 21mm socket, but no idea what OEM ones are.

Replaced the lugs nuts on a different vehicle with the one piece Gorilla chrome lug nuts due to the same issue. The chrome lug nuts definitely do rust with time in areas with salt on the roads in the winter. They mostly rust on the edges where the socket contacts the nut vs. the flat surfaces. Still better than the hassle of the 2 piece nuts that swell and fall apart.

OEM lug nuts should be 21mm - my nuts were deformed: 13/16, 21mm & 22mm on one wheel. I swapped them all out for McGard 64034 (black 22mm). Get yourself a breaker bar and deep socket (21mm for your Gorilla)

I am glad you posted this... I took one wheel off (only once) to look at something for my upcoming brake install and I looked at the lug and thought holy #$%^. it was all beat up with one go of the impact.
