lugnuts

I bought a set of Eisen brand from amazon for my wives escape about year ago and they have held up very well, so i just bought a set for my 16 f150. Nice solid one piece lug nuts.
By the way if anyone is interested in a set of factory lug nuts for 20" wheels, I have a complete set. One is banged up bad, some have normal wear on them but most are in great shape.

We go through thousands of lugnuts at my shop. We use the chrome Gorillia lugnuts and buy them by the 100.

Took about a year to fill a 55 gallon drum since we started saving them for scrap.. This is in rust belt NY, BUT anyone saying it's only Ford is mistaken.. Hyundai/ Kia, Honda and Subaru are the only companies that come with chrome plated steel lugnuts from the factory. I've had to destroy stud lugs on a brand new Jeep Renegade with only a few thousand miles, but we keep a set on hand for those problem cars as well as the Chrysler 200's.. Fiat is such a great company

Ive been impressed with the Dorman lug nuts, they are solid steel.
Arent gorilla lug nuts aluminum or is that just the locking lugs they make?

Car companies with this bull**** crappy money saving lug nuts I've run into so far are - Ford & Lincoln, Toyota(I assume Lexus by default), Infinity(I assume Nissan be default), Jeep(I assume anything from Fiat).

I went with McGard and really like them they offer many options and are a quality product. One of the options I really liked is the ability to choose the wrench size with the option being either metric or SAE (13/16in) which is what I opted for.

I just recently replace my lugnuts. I went with McGard after seeing numerous pictures of Gorillas developing rust after less than a year of use. The McGards look great. I think the best price I could find was from Jegs.
