BTW ... You can not notice it in my pic but my stock chrome lug nuts are starting to rust .
Seven New York winters finally got to them. So, I ordered new ones (e-Bay) which seem to be higher quality and are 'triple plated". Although they are not exact copies of the stock lugs, they do look just about the same. One issue is, they need a 3/4" socket instead of a 13/16" like the stock lugs do. So with knowledge that the stock lug wrench is about worthless.... If you you had to remove a tire with it due to a flat, you might not be able to remove the lug nuts with it I tried (out of curiosity) and i could not loosen any nuts with the stock lug wrench . Remember the "Big bang Theory" episode where they could not use a stock lug wrench either to change a flat away from home? It was funny on TBBT as good comedy must have a bit of realty to it.... but, what if that actually happened to you? So, today I went to Walmart and got a very nice "4-way" lug wrench for $12. Both problems are solved.
