Hey Guys,

Looking for recommendations on a good quality solid chrome lug nut to replace the OE ones on my 2004 Ram 1500. The OE capped ones are in various stages of swelling after 20 years. The last chrome lug nuts I bought off Amazon for a Demon started rusting within a couple years and the Demon lives in a HVAC controlled garage. I realize it's all probably made in China with cheap chrome, just wondering what luck you guys have had? And who to stay away from would help too!

Thanks!

These are some of the better made ones you can get I believe. I had a set on a car years ago, and the chrome finish stayed intact the whole time I had them. I put a plastic sandwich bag inside the socket to help keep the socket from marring up the chrome finish.

I went with cheap chrome lug nuts and they're getting rusty. Don't do what I did.

Soon I'll replace them with stainless...

I just bought a set of McGard for my truck. The two piece junkers were swelling and I got them off before the trouble really set in. I went with them because they are made in USA like they are supposed to be.


I want my fair share

There's a guy on Ebay - Lugnut King - that I've bought closed and open lugnuts from.
Inexpensive, but no problems so far.
