old school trick that us harlry riders,any time you put coated or chrome bolts on coat them in clear nail polish it will prevent any of those small nicks from getting rusty

well i might be wrong but ALL the inverted lug nuts has no brands!!!!!!!! i searched ebay... froogle... etc i just found cheap no name inverted lug nuts.. im not really happy for it because i would buy something if it would be good even if its expensive... ( i bought 5zigen lug nuts for 135... but the dont fit.. hahaha.. cool eh?

so i had black inverted lug nuts they started to rust.. change them to chrome lug nuts.. they are already rusting.. there is another 2 color.. no brand so they will be the same... i bought these from autozone or pepboys.. i cant remember.... btw even if i take it back the new ones will start to rust.... lol

why there is no one making a really good inverted lug nuts???

about the nail polish.. it wont stay there for too long every time i using the tool to take the wheel off i will have to re apply the nail polish....

so what could i do? repaint it with something? ...


i know i know.. get a different wheel:D:D:D
