Hi All, I'm getting a new set of wheels and tires and I'm tired of cheap azz rusty lug nuts. Anyone know of a decent brand that will hold up? Thanks!!
Salt, chloride, and everything else they can put on the roads, except sand haha.
I doubt we are talking the same thing then. If the covering ever came off of these, and I don't see that happening, you would still be left with a steel lug nut. I bought these sometime in 04 or 05 so I don't know even the brand all I know is that was after 2 sets of Dorman (stop laughing, I learned) that would rust and flake almost immediately, while stainless covered ones still look perfect after many tire rotations and removals for 12+ years.I would highly advise against those actually. Far too often the outer jacket comes loose in a fashion that is really upsetting. If it happened to me on a roadside changing tires I'd be quite upset. It's miserable enough in a garage when it comes loose, but isn't loose enough to remove from the actual nut, and this becomes amplified by deep socketed aluminum wheel recessions. I won't ever use a two piece out nut in my life again.
Just had to replace a set of stock nuts on a 2013 Escape because a lot of the stainless caps got moisture behind then froze, causing the socket to not fit or they spun on the steel inner.
