    Hi all since I went with the sexy bronze Method wheels, I had to do the matching black lug nuts. Being a PNW dweller, I'm on my third set due to rust. They just look really bad after a season or two and I end up replacing them. I believe they are only painted. Has anyone tried powder coating lug nuts? Would that be tougher? As soon as the first torque wrench scratch hits the new ones the process starts all over again and its getting old...

    No that appears to be a great solution! Thanks for sharing!

    2nd the color lugs. They are also a good security measure cause without the removal tool (basically long tweezers with the tips bent) they would be really hard to remove.

    I've been running the blue for many years and have 0 complaints.

    Order them directly from them not Amazon. They give you the tweezers and extra caps/wheel lock covers all for free.

    Nothing yet except for some LED interior & exterior bulbs.
    Does McGard make the style you need in black? I've had great luck with their chrome lugs over the years. They're not cheap but it's definitely a "but once, cry once" with them.
