I'm getting a set of Method 708's and need a set of lug nuts. I live close to the ocean and have had a hard time with lug nut corrosion.
I found a set of stainless steel lug nuts for my Tacoma, but can't remember where or what brand I got.

Can anyone help me out with the bolt size and pattern I need for my JL, if not somewhere to get a set?
Thanks

Seconded for Gorilla. I have a set in black and the finish has held up great.

Just looking at where y'all are at I'm more concerned about the constant salt air here in FL, I wish I could remember which ones I got that rotted out, or the good ones I got...

Gorilla nuts are steel and will oxidize in salt air. They’re great everywhere else but not so much in highly corrosive environments. Mine have rust just from Oklahoma mud but I’m not to concerned with the appearance.

Stainless steel does not strike me as good material for lug nuts. The threads will gall much more easily than steel. Also, steel lugs and stainless steel lug nuts might net corrosion (dissimilar metals).
