Default 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??

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?

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.
