I guess I could ask this question in any auto/truck forum but since I have an F150, I thought I'd ask it here. I have a 2013 F150 King Ranch, chrome wheels. My tire place used the wrong socket when rotating my tires so it rounded the corners of the lug nuts just enough that I can't use the original size lug wrench. I'm going to buy a new set of lug nuts but I don't want to have an experience like I had previously when replacing them on another vehicle. In that case, I bought Dorman lug nuts from RockAuto and they rusted out almost immediately. RockAuto made good, though, and gave me a refund no questions asked. I bought a set made by another manufacturer and they were better but were rusting withing a year. I don't remember what brand those were.

I want to get a set of lug nuts for my truck that won't rust out. I also want to avoid the "capped" lug nuts. I want solid lug nuts with quality plating. (I can't remember if the Ford OEM lug nuts are capped.

Can anyone recommend a good brand of chrome lug nuts for my truck?

Thanks in advance.

 

Gorilla nuts. That is their main specialty.

I live in an area where it almost never snows and there is no salt on the roads and my super duper heavy chrome gorilla nuts rusted after a few years on my Dodge Magnum. So, I suspect that if you live in the frozen north they will rust pdq.

 

Thanks. They came up in a search of lug nut manufacturers but I was hesitant to buy them because I think they were the second set that I bought mentioned in my question and they rusted out too - but not as horribly as the first set. I see I got another response that says their Gorilla nuts rusted out and they don't even live where there's snow and salt on the road. Have you used Gorilla nuts yourself and, if so, do you live where there's snow and salt on the road during the winter like where I live?

 

Thanks. I do live where's there's snow in the winter and the roads are salted. I think the second set of lug nuts I bought previously may have been Gorilla nuts but I'm not sure about that so when that name came up, I was hesistant to order them.

Can anyone else who lives where there's snow in the winter and the roads are salted recommend a chrome lug nut that they've owned and that doesn't rust easily or at all?

 

Gorilla rust a little, but sadly are the best still. I ran them for years in northern Ohio and they just had some rust flecks. Still better than OEM.
