Ok here it comes. At this point is there a general consensus of which is the better but. The McGuards or the Gorillas?

Do they both use a different size lugnut wrench?
Does one not rust?
Any difference in shoulder size that makes it better?
Who has a nicer finish?

I got the McGards. Here's a link to 2 long threads on this a while back. A few members had issues with the Gorilla nuts cracking, but many have been happy with the Gorilla nuts too. Nobody has had an issue with the McGards that I have seen. You will need a different lug wrench, stock will not fit.

If you are interested I could PM you a picture of my nuts. They still look like new!

Lug nut choice - Gorilla, McGard, something else?

I've finally decided on the wheels I want and now I need to choose some lug nuts. I'm going to get a set of Icon Vector6 wheels and want to put a high quality lug nut on with the new wheels. I'm leaning towards the titanium finish on the wheels but I don't see anything other than chrome or black...
