lug nuts

I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me where to get good quality chrome lug nuts. I'm looking for 9/16 RH to fit a 97 250 (running eagle alloys), I bought some from Napa a year ago and they are rusting allready. Been checking summit, ebay, etc and found some good deals but no one says much about wether the finish lasts.
Having to buy 32 of them at almost $2+ a piece I'd like to find something that will last. Thanks!

I use McGard frequently, they show salt immersion test that make their product look really good. I also like the idea of splined lug nuts with an anodized finish.

Thanks for the info. I'm checking into the Gorilla nuts now. Trying to get tech info on a weekend is about impossible. My 1/2-20's (when the rims were on my old truck) have a large bulge instead of the normal bulge on the bottom of the nut. Amost .998 when measured with the mic.
Going to check into the Mcgard while waiting for more info

I run the all chrome spline drive on my sd, three years and still ok. Got mine at discount tire.
