Someone one here predicted that the lug nuts i had would rust and that they did. Anyone with different lugnuts, any pics, and where did you get them/ how much? Thanks!

Here's mine. They are volks. Got them from evasivemotorsports.com. They're
expensive. I think I paid $265.

i bought muteki lugs only $50 plus shipping and similar quality to the volk ones. i had originally wanted the volk lugs, but couldnt justify the cost. forget where exactly i bought mine online, but most places are about the same. i foget the pitch, but all toyos are the same from what iv seen according to the websites...

what kind of rusting are you talking about? exterior? or the splines on the studs and the nuts?

if it's the latter it simply cannot be avoided unless you keep your car in show room / trailer queen condition.

that is why i have been wondering....
Is it worth to spend 400 dollars on nuts...

i'm using McGard splinedrive lugs + lock nuts. and they're floating lugs.

got it for MYR500 which consist of 16 lugs + 4 lock nuts. i reckon it shud be cheaper in the states.

just get the chrome look ones from www.discounttiredirect.com i got the lug nuts, and key for about $50 and i run those lugs year round up here... haven't rusted them yet even with a really solid snow last winter(30 inches in 30 hours) and driving delivery with those lugs on...

theyre the inward ones....where the bit is inserted into the lug instead of grasping the outer edges of it. Theres rusting on the interior, but theyve only been on their for 2 months and im in Va Beach, so we had a flurry and some rain but no real snow. P.S $265 for lugnuts=:eyebulge: lol thanks for all the inputs though!

i used to live down there, and the reason for the rust down there is because of the fact that va beach is very close to the salt water... i would recommend trying the lugs off of discount tire's website...
