Thumbs up Pleased with McGard lug nuts

Had a lug seize and strip the cap 3.5 years ago.
Replaced all . Spent $70 on 20 lugs.
Removed wheels today with no issues.

They are now down to $50 for 20

Yes, I always use anti-seize when I reinstall wheels

Very very light coating of anti-seize and McGard lug nuts for the win.

My XJ had a set on when I bought it a few years ago. They are still on there going strong. I have a black set on my Civic that have held up very well too.

If the chintzy metal cap comes off, use an 18mm socket to remove the nut.
