Default are these lug nuts okay? blue gold red @ebay

has anyone tried them- will the paint start to peel as soon as you tighten them with an air impact gun er what?

they don't look anodized so i'm pretty certain the paint would chip where the nuts seat.

Like the color but I agree, they look like the first time you torqued them down they'd chip up.

i was driving a friends mazda and he had ebay lug nuts, a wheel fell off while i was goin 45mph on a busy road. luckily i was passin by a dodge dealership so i guided it in. (and btw, they wouldnt help me for **** )

yea anything not name brand on e-bay is pretty much declared as an ''e bay brand'' usually a lot cheaper tho. so what do people use then, obviously if no one has made decent lug nuts yet then i need to get into that market.
