Hey folks,
I was looking to add some protection to my wheels using security lug nuts from Gorilla 96643BDX that I found others mention in this forum in multiple threads.
However, the ones I purchased from Amazon had what looks like rust inside all 20 of them. So, I requested a replacement, but it had the same issue.
I used a q-tip to inspect further, then some of that came out on the cotton tip, but not much at all, so there was no reason for me to believe that this was grease.
Has anyone experienced anything like this at all, or is this a normal thing? Should this affect installation, longevity, or safety, etc.?
Fyi - I tried to look for alternatives and found Ford Performance selling these https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-1A043-A, but people reviewing this item on ford.com are saying that they're sticking out further than the OEM lug nuts, which doesn't seem like something I want to deal with, at least until I have explored the Gorilla solution first, if any at all.
Would appreciate any helpful insight!
Thanks
