Lug Nuts
 

Ok for years now I have had to change my lug nuts every 2 or 3 seasons cause they rot, And I am afraid of not being able to get them off when the time comes.

I have tried painting them, and coating them with anti seize, I have washed them after every trip.

So has any one found any Stainless Lugs that stand up??

What do you guys do to stop this??

Re: Lug Nuts
 

Pretty sure they don't make stainless lugnuts because stainless tends to "gall" and deform the threads. Just keep them greased and replace when needed I guess?

Re: Lug Nuts
 

How about using antiseize?

CORROSION XHD in the blue can should do the trick for ya.

Re: Lug Nuts
 

I have been working lots of OT and have not had that much time to research it, But I will!! I just wanted to see if anyone has found any so I could just buy them instead of having look. So now that I know they are out there I will find them!

Thanks guys!!!!!! :-*

my father in law had stainless lug nuts on his camper trailer, I asked him wher he got them, he said they were a product of the former Charleston Navy Ship Yard, wished I lived here when it was open. I've seen some mighty fine stainless oyster cookers that came out of that yard.

My buddys were tool makers, what ever we needed they made it, if we were still there we just make the lug nuts ;)
