for those with tuner style wheels

i was just wondering what tuner style lugs people have. i have gorrila lugs for my konig monsoons and i hate them. theyre rusting, the key feels like it strips more everytime i use it and i have one thats stripped. i cant seem to find replacement lugs anywhere, atleast without buying them in a bulk of 50 cuz thats all they can be ordered in. just wanted to know if i ahd any options with buying new lugs. thanks for any replies

Most with a 1.25 pitch will work... In addition, there appears to be 2 lugnut wrench sizes depending on the size of the hole in the rim itself.

I have Gorilla lugs as well. And I hate them as well. They rusted and caused one of my studs to break which was a pain in the *ss to repair. The key does not seem to be a problem for me but like I said they rust and turn colors. Do you know of any better tuner lugs? I always assumed this was a problem of all tuner lugs because they are open-ended so water and other elements can get inside. That is why with normal lugs most people don't ever break studs.

I have no clue what lugs I have, I bought them with the wheels, but I'm starting to get worried now. How long did you guys have yours before they started rusting?

Rusting appears to be more of a problem on open end lugnuts...

You can use antiseize compound on the studs...

McGard sells close end tuner lugs. Kinda pricy at $85 for the kit that includes locks.
