    I bought a set of Method Con6 rims through a local shop.
    I also purchased a set of black lugs with a special socket for removal etc.
    I have had the rims on about 6 months.
    yes they have been removed and put back several times.
    The lugs are all rusting already!
    Look like crap next to the rims.
    Just wondering...did I purchase crappy lugs?
    Is this normal?
    Is there a brand people recommend?
    Thanks

    Yeah these are of the shorter type. Does black spline = Conical? If so Gorilla has many versions. I even think I saw some mag seat types in chrome that were longer.
