just my thoughts (I could be wrong) I think +50% of the problem with these nuts swelling / cracking are caused by the tire shops not making sure their sockets are fully on all the way....& of course they keep their finger on the trigger tooo long!!! Hand torque / tighten etc...

I bought the OEM style gorilla nuts on amazon they look good much better than stock but yes unfortunately I live in the northeast so rust will happen regardless it's really not too bad considering I've had them almost three years now and not much rust
