I bought chrome acorn nuts from NAPA 18 months ago. Use them continuously on
MGA-58-ES for street use, rally and autocross. Changed the wheels from
street to race and back for about 50 race dates now. I loosen and retorque
by hand but use a 12 volt electric impact wrench to spin the nuts off and on
and to pretighten them. Still all chrome covered, no rust, damn nice lug
nuts. My receipt says $5.98 for a package of four, and worth every penny of
it.
