My lug nuts were pretty roached up from being on and off numerous times over the last couple years. Always drove me crazy.

Problem solved, I purchased a new set from Canadian Lug Nuts and they look amazing. The new ones I purchased are 6mm longer, and 22mm vs a weenie 19mm stock and I think look 6-22x better ;) I also got them zinc coated, just cause I could.

Nice nuts ! I ordered the factory ones which if I recall were dealer installed. Look much better than base . It’s the little things that can make a difference.
 
Not a fan of locking lugs … had them on one of my bmw’s and one got slightly stripped. The removal tool cracked … and was more of a pain than anything.

Someone wants to steel my rims, have at it … that one lug is more of a pain for me , than them
Or you misplace the socket . First thing to do with a new vehicle is replace them IMHO . Unless you live in a high crime/theft area
I suppose.

You get to the car dealership for brakes and when you get home you then remember the key! lol.
I had no choice with the Malibu when I wanted winter rims. I had to get spline lug nuts. GM and their damn lug change.
