Lug nuts

[Spicy McHaggiz]

So I got these wheels/tires as a deal awhile back. WAY too excited to get them on so I got some cheap Pep Boy's lugs to go on. Well now they are rusting so I'm debating what to do, this is where you TCG come in.

Should I get a nicer (and by nicer I mean a company that makes a lug that won't rust) silver/chrome plated lug. OR should I get a set of black "tuner" lugs? Mind you they mush be pretty skinny lugs to fit in the opening.

Also, flame on my car!

I'm 99% sure these are McGard lugs. The obvious problem I'm presented with is the open interior design of the lug.

Same happened to me, I bought some lugs at autozone, needless to say, they stripped at the slightest touch. I bought some muteki lugs on ebay, and these have lasted. I'm about to buy some gorilla lugs on amazon, they seem to be a decent buy.

I guess my biggest question would be to get Chrome Plated or Black?

Chrome to go with the wheels. Black might look like you have 10 holes on the wheel from far away. My .02

This is very true.

I'd get chrome. I need some lugs too when I put my wheels back on in spring. The ones that came with my wheels are all rusty too...
