Default FYI: Weld Racing lugs suck.

I put on some weld sst style lugs last week and torqued them all to 80lbs. It rained last night and when I walked out of the house this morning I noticed rust actually running down my Prostars. The plating comes off the washer when you torque them and they rust like crazy. Junk IMO.

BTW: I have excalibers in the front and they have never done any such thing in the 2 years that I've had them.

Try McCard Lug Nuts, they last for years.

Yeah I was planning on switching but what sucks is Weld's washers are much bigger than everybody elses. So when I switch you'll be able to see the marks in the wheels where the washers used to be. I cleaned up the Welds and soaked them with PB Blaster for now. It's raining right now so I should see if that helps.

Pick up some McGard of Excalibur SST lugs. That's what I use in the front. You'll want about a 1.3" shank.
