Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great product but tight.

Pros: Will not rust and if it does, replacement is free. You look great. Cons: *narrow* ride height with center caps on some aftermarket rims. expensive initial investment. If you are fed up with cracked chrome on your studs that rusts then this is an expensive but very good choice. They will cost a lot initially but I paid the same every year to replace my nuts because after a year on the road they start to look awful, the chrome cracks and that's it, rust starts and never stops. However, you have to understand that you can't use an impact wrench on these bad guys. They won't tell you until you open the box, and since most auto and tire shops use impact wrenches, you need to be REALLY careful when driving and make sure you KNOW not to smash an old gun in there. and zip them open. The locking keys and splined drive socket also have a HUGE backing so you have to be VERY careful when you put these guys on them - your socket can easily touch the center cover and damage the chrome on the cover. All it takes is a little attention, and once in place these baddies look amazing and won't corrode and backfire over time. If it weren't for the socket gap issue I would have given that five stars, but since McGard makes them specifically for aftermarket rims they actually had to go out and put them on a few cars to realize they had a gap issue . . . Four stars and worth the price of admission in the long run.

Pros
  • Ring nuts and accessories
Cons
  • Good, but not great
