cheap ebay anodized lug nuts?

i've had the red ones now for almost 2 seasons, starting to get scratched up from numerous times on and off, < i mean numerous, i've traded rims back and forth between my 2 blasters, and had far too many flats from having 6 ply kevlar bandit tires, that are stronger than the .125 thickness itp rims they are on.
so in my opinion ....the anodizing on them holds up pretty good
at first, i put a thin rag inside a "one size bigger" sae socket, but have since just used the regular 14mm socket, hence the wearing thru thats starting to happen
i'd buy another set
 
weeeeeeeell, I pulled all my rims for the 1st time this week on the 250 and the fronts are bolts not studs... they're not even the right thread size or pitch so I can't even put these on the front :( I did end up getting blue anodized valve caps from walmart tho LOL no pix, maybe tomorrow...

I'm hoping to do the yfz front hub swap sooner or later anyway so if/when I do, I'll change my lug nuts and maybe do beadlocks :D or bajas but I wanna do 3-2 offset since I have flipped wheels on it now anyway...

so.... you're saying you beat the sh!t outta your tires badly or something? lol I:I

you use an impact gun to loosen/tighten ur lug nuts? I've been using my 120v snap on 1/2" drive gun lately that my pops picked up for me at a garage sale (I asked him a week or two prior to get one if he finds one, I did have to pay for it lol) but yeah, I've been lazy since I got my new gun and use it for everything too tight for my cordless impacts LOL, I even used it to re-thread a larger body bolt into the frame, did it in a split second, good thing in was a quality bolt :D

not sure how long my anodizing will hold up if I keep that crap up tho lol
