My lugnuts are starting to rust..and it really makes a rim and the overall car look horrible. Is there a manufacturer that makes a stainless set or something??

 

what kind of lugnuts do you have? i got soem when i got my wheels and if i rememebr right there called like gorilla's or something. mine havn;t started rusting and ive had them for almost 2 years

 

as far as I know gorilla is chrome, but Im almost certain that there are stainless lugs out there...have you checked jegs or summit?

 

I just checked Summit...they want 15 bucks for a set of 4. Our cars take 5 per wheel...so...I've have to get 5 packs....sounds like this is going to get expensive

 

Replace your lug nuts. Maybe buy some sockets with nylon/plastic inside of them. Helps protect scratching off the chrome. These sockets are a little expensive however.

 

yes I'm with firebat... I've worked at a tire store and for mag/rims and high end vehicles we use sockets with a nylon insert (and sometimes nylon sleeves) to avoid scuffing and damaging lugnuts and rims. Chase down your local Snap-On or Mac truck, he'll have what you need. Expect to pay about $40 for the socket. (or more without an account?)

good luck
