PeterJMC Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 What are you running and whats your opinion on the quality? I'm trying to decide on some new lug nuts for my wheels and would like some feedback on what everyone else is running. I've used McGard in the past but they are expensive! They were black in color and the paint never faded. The black paint did start to show signs of wear though from use from adding/removing wheels. Requirements: -Thin profile to fit aftermarket wheels -Set with locks -Black in color -Resists rust -Does not scratch easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJMC Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Good info. I thought about getting open ended, but it sounds like corrosion will be a big problem if they are your everyday lugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJMC Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Maybe that was just my assumption that his old ones were open ended... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
