Thanks, Steve
My Dormans have lost the majority of the chrome plating on the wrenching flats and look like a rusty mess.

If given a choice between that and being unable to remove the OEM lugnuts on some back road during a downpour, I'll choose the ugly Dormans any day.

I have had the Dorman lug nuts for about 4 years. Mine have a bit of rust and I was hoping they were solid stainless steel but they are only chrome plated steel.

Still working fine but I am not in a salt area so they should stay pretty rust free.

Default Many thanks!

Thanks, all. Looks like I should cough up the extra $$ and get the Mitsubishi's.
