Are there any out there that dont rust?
They must be forged.

not one answer????????

Don Clark

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?

Don Clark

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.

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.....

QUICKSCOOB

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

Don Clark

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

QUICKSCOOB

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!!!

Don Clark

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
