Rusting lugnuts

I had to replace my lugnuts in my 2017 f250 due to the outer shell of oem lugnuts warping. I got new chrome plated lugnuts but they started rusting soon after installing them.

Has anyone else had the same issue? Can anyone recommend lugnuts that won't rust?

I believe Gorilla lug nuts are warranted for rust.
But, about the only ones that for sure won't rust is if you can find some stainless steel lugs, but they are pricey.

I have Gorilla brand chrome lug nuts with no rust, but I don't use an impact on them either. The impact guns damage the chrome and that's when the rust starts.

Chrome plated are junk if you are in or near any salty conditions. Stainless is the way to go but very pricey. Imo worth it. ~$7/lug nut.
