Default Aftermarket Lug Nut Recommendations.

Well after almost 100,000 miles and grease monkeys with impacts my lug nuts have had it. I got new tires yesterday and went to retorque my lugs today and now I've got four lug caps jiggling even though they're torqued to spec and the rest I can barely even get a socket on anymore. The place I got the tires didn't do it I kept a close eye on them. So before things get worse and one gets stripped out I'm gonna replace them. What would you guys recommend for replacements?

I looked at what they have to offer online. Did you get the Dormans? Are they any better than stock?

If the stockers lasted you 100k, then just get the OEMs

Needed 4 on my 07 when the previous owner couldn't find the key to the wheel lock's
$10.00 each at my dealer.

You can go aftermarket.
I've had great luck with Gorilla and McGaurd. McGaurd has a lifetime warranty against rust.
