Re: Anyone running Stainless Steel Lug Nuts? I'm tired of the chrome capped rusty on

I am not sure I am crazy about stainless lug nut . I dont know if they even exist . Stainless is softer than steel . You take a chance on galling the threads and getting a lug stuck . Even if you use anti seize I would think the threads would move around even if torqued correctly . Also if one of the crazy tire store people put 150lb air pressure at 200ft lb on it . Have fun getting that off on the side of the road .

Not trying to sound negative about the idea , just some in site from someone who works with stainless fasteners . I think a good quality plated steel lug would be the best bet .
