Rust Proof Lug Nuts?

[thestig]

I'm looking for a set of lug nuts that won't rust and are light. They need to be small enough to fit on my aftermarket wheels too. I've tried these so far and they have all rusted or chipped...

Rusted and cracked in half. Next set rusted, seized and broke off the stud.

Have you tried titanium lugnuts?

They are super lightweight and expensive as hell, but I am sure that they will not rust.

Re: Rust Proof Lug Nuts?

Wow! Those are nice but PRICEY! My current lugs have a warranty so I should be able to get the $30 back but I'm not looking to spend more than about $60-70 total on a new set. I figure for twice the price of these POS lugs I can get some good ones that I won't need to replace.

Does anyone know of a set of small light and durable lugs for around $60?

What do you guys think of these?

I had rusty lug nuts also, i decided to go with McGard lugs. Got them from Ebay, they look real nice and are basically the same size as stock ones but heavier because of them being made alot better and solid. The guy i got them from sold them for like 50 bucks for all 20. That was the best price i could find.

We'll see how they work out.

Re: Rust Proof Lug Nuts?

They didn't work out!

They look great and probably don't rust but they don't fit under my hub caps!

Does anyone know of any other aluminum lug nuts?


Btw, FS thread coming soon.
