Default Tired of rusting lug nuts

Do they sell them where they are powdercoated or made of a material that will not rust?

OEM ones don't rust, at least the Honda ones I had on my car. Which ones are you running? I have tuner ones on my current wheels because the stock ones don't fit and I haven't had a problem. They are black though.

any chrome plated steel (unless it's stainless) will rust over time. you need ones that are made either of an aluminum alloy or stainless steel.

Any brands off the top of your head?


Also what would powder coating them do? It was a suggestion from a ricer lol.

gorilla makes a good product. i sell a ton of it.

Gorilla Automotive Products

i wouldn't powdercoat them at all. as soon as you put an impact on them, they'll chip.
