I may have several stripped broken lug nuts.
I am going to pay a shop to drill them all out, and replace all 20 lug nuts with something that won't snap.

Can someone recommend something that is proven to be good?

Summit Racing gets TRASH reviews. Screw that scammer place.

I'll pay double $65 and get it from Amazon in 2 days.
At least I know I'll get it in 2 days, and it won't screw up my timing with the mechanic.

Have you ever ordered anything from Summit? They have never given me an issue, the same can't be said for Amazon.

I replaced all my lug nuts 10 years ago with Dormans from Autozone. Never
had any stripped. Here in Africa we get a lot of nails in tires so the wheels come
off very often and all the tire repair guys here put them back on super tight. So
I can recommend that the Dormans can stand a lot of use.

EDIT: As I reread the first post, you have some that snapped and you are going
to drill them out; I think you mean the studs, not the lug nuts. Anyway, over 20 years
I have had two front studs snap off and one or two strip. I keep an old hub or two
around so I can scrounge a stud if I need it.
