World's worst website ever!
Use the Gorilla site to find the part# for any lug in your size then google search for places to buy results.

That’s how I found the ones you don’t like LOL.
I just thought the ss ones were better than the chrome. They don’t give good details re one piece design.

Mine are starting to do the same, I just get the Ford dealer to replace 2-4 of the worst ones each time I get my oil changed there. They are $6 a piece

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...

Gorilla -or- McGard are both HIGH quality. *Personally have used Gorilla for several years on many vehicles.

The key to minimize corrosion in the rust belt is .....
.
  1. ALWAYS install the lug nuts by hand. MEANING: NEVER use an impact.
    .
  2. Apply polish to the lugs nuts before installing them and routinely thereafter.

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
