Ideally, someone would make a set out of stainless steel. I know that aluminum lugnuts are popular with the ricers - just can't bring myself to use aluminum lugnuts. All I can find is chrome over plain steel - the minute you use a socket on them, you put tiny scratches in the chrome that rust.

I ran McGards on my old truck with good results.
Guaranteed not to rust.
