McGard. I have an extra set of black ones if you're interested, in excellent shape. I'd do 50% off msrp + ship.

Some are ok, others do rust. They used to be consistently good.

Another data point, my Gorilla lugnuts began to rust after only 2000 miles. That's the main reason I switched to McGard, and I haven't had a problem since, they are still looking flawless after 5000+ miles.

I have the Gorilla locking lug nuts and haven't had any problems. I have read that people had the Mc guard ones break since are torque is 140 ft lbs. I have had Mc guard on other cars, but they had a lower torque spec.

As a past Gorilla fan (had them on my prior car), I hate to say that the black "system" lug nuts on my 2016 developed rust all too soon, as others noted they experienced. To top things off, when I was choosing black lug nuts for my 2021, I realized the ones Gorilla spec'ed for the sixth gen did not have the bulge cone seat that the non-locking factory and McGard lugs do. On that basis alone, I am glad I switched over to the McGard lug nuts. |

Ran gorilla in the past "black chrome" no issues w corrosion. May want to pay attention to wheel cleaner you are using - some happen to be very strong acids!
These get beat on/off 15-20 times a year w wheel swap between autox. Got a new set in garage to go on w new wheels.
