Is anyone else suffering from rusty Gorilla nuts?
Purchased them from Steeda back in March this year and fitted them in April when I did my coilovers/sway bars/CB005 etc., and while I never expected a lifetime guarantee, I didn't expect them to do this after only having been on the car for 6 months. About half of them are rusting as bad as the one in the pic, and the rest are just starting to go.
Car is mostly stored in a dry underground car park and when washed (average once every 2 weeks) I always dry off the wheel nuts/pockets with an air line.
Bit surprised for them to be rusting to this extent... just looks shite when you've cleaned the wheels up all nice and the nuts are covered in rusty brown spots!
The splines over which the hex nut fits for removal/installation are also rusting noticeably, and other than the initial installation, the wheels have only been removed/refitted once when I made some adjustments to the coilovers.
