Rock auto has a good bit, closed and open end. A lot of dorman.
McGard
Gorilla ones aren't bad either.
I see a lot of Gorilla lug nuts on eBay. For like $25.
Thank you. Very helpful.. ..
Bah... McGards rust too
If you treat them like McGard "recommends" then you might get away with a couple of years without rust, but 99% of us are are going to impact wrench them off and impact wrench them on, and then use a steel socket on a torque wrench to firm them up. My set of Mcgards lasted rust free just as long as a set of Gorilla's I have.

pretty sure they make Toyota OE wheel locks, and they rust very badly. Best to avoid wheel locks imho so thieves do less damage when they take the rims.
used the dorman OEfix ones from rockauto they were fine.
I don't want wheel locks.
I don't see them on there for my vehicle..
I had McGard locking lug nuts on my Subaru. They were badly rusted after one winter and only 2500 miles. Never again. I believe that the company would replace them if I mailed them the rusted lug nuts. What good is that of the new ones rust just as easily.
I just found the Dorman OE fix One, how long have you had them on there?
My question what makes Dorman OE Fix better than Mcgard lug nuts or vice versa?
I read the article, Dorman says they made them one piece to "fix" the issue with two piece lugs.
I have had them for a year no trouble, but I don't live in the rust belt either.
Same here except for a 2011 Edge. MdGuard doesn't make then for that year Edge. Yes I asked.
Aren't the McGuard ones stainless and/or made in USA? The Dorman ones are made in China, I think.

I think we would be able to use Mcgard 69400, what did you end up using?
Dorman OE fix lug nuts are made in the USA
