Are there any out there that dont rust?
They must be forged.
Muteki........3 months on the car..dull and rusty
A couple of sets from Revolution ..went rusty.

 

not one answer????????

 

Probably cus you want forged

McGard splinedrive wheel nuts in chrome or black chrome have a lifetime guarantee when registered with McGard Europe (based in Germany).

If chrome finish starts to break down they will replace for free. Had a complete set replaced 3 years down the road

 

Where did you buy them Don?

 

Originally got mine via Demon Tweeks but it's quicker and cheaper to import from the US.

Most people use the Lug Shack

I've imported from Jegs




Or you can buy direct from McGard Germany, but I believe they still have to bring them in from the US.

McGard also do STi branded versions... (Local UK subaru dealer)

Nice nuts.

I'd also be up for a set in black if anyone wants to start a group buy.

 

I have a set of OE ones with locking McGard nuts if you are interested.

 

I want black chrome

 

Just got myself Spline Drive ones...43.50 Not bad for a proper wheel nuts..

Don thanks for the link BTW...

 

Struggling to find mcgard black chrome without the Sti logo

You are looking for M12x1.25

 

I am on my phone,when I get home I will give them a try

 

Just ordered some,thanks Don for the info..

 

they arrived this week. VERY NICE.
i think i will only use them on sunny days

 

Just don't let anyone use a wheel gun on them - torque wrench only

 

Im a bit peed too with the set i bought from on here that after only mere months they are rusty :-( thought it was just my luck.....

 

I paid £124 for the McGard spline nuts with the STi logo and were rusting within a month..

 

What do you do to them -use a wheel gun?? Had mine on for a year and no problems.

 

Deffo not mate.ALWAYS wheelbrace/spline key hand tighten.Maybe looking at titanium nuts.Very strong,no rust.Seems to good to be true lol.

 

Lucko on here has just bought a set of these, look the nuts these do, lets just hope they stay clean!!! Can also feel how light they are compared to standard wheel nuts!!!

 

You do realise they are "guaranteed for life" and any"damaged" will be swapped by McGard Germany for the cost of postage to them.
Have done this a couple of times with the original chromed versions which can breakdown on the spline edges

 

My nuts are still looking good.��

 

Do NOT post any pics up then!! LOL

 

Thread resurrection..................My nuts have gone rusty.I am not sure how i go about getting them exchanged under warranty.

 

As per my post above - speak to McGard Germany customer Services

Link for info (warranty and exchange) and phone number................

http://www.mcgard.de/en/customer-services.html

 

Titanium are way forward . Expensive but your only Goin to have to buy em once

 

I have been in touch with McGard they are saying only covered for two years.

 

From their website....



Have had sets exchanged in the past -no problem.

 

I will try again
