Default Lug nuts that WONT rust
The lugs toms wheels sent me with my TTM's are starting to rust just a little bit, who sells some decent lug nuts with locks that will last the test of DD'ing?

I haven't had any rust problems with my Gorilla Lugs.

I got some chrome lugs from WS6store and they were fine through the rain and stuff but once the salt hit the roads this winter they rusted overnight.

I need some unrustable ones too.

I'm with Mike. The Gorilla set hasn't rusted. My car gets driven rain or shine.

Gorilla or McGard are the best choices. I believe both are guaranteed against chiping/rusting issues.

Wax 'em to insure that they don't ever start to rust too.
