Dumb question:
What's the difference between chrome vs stainless?
(I know 'bout $34. bucks but) Any difference in looks, utility or whatever?

I did not and wish I did.
For me the rust seems to coming from the washers, not the nuts. I looked for stainless washers and found they are expensive.... about 60% as much as JimK charges for stainless washers, nuts AND center caps. (Note that I did not use the "cheap" caps.)
If I didn't have something else in the works, it would be a no-brainer.
Bottom line, spring for the stainless unless your coach is in a climate controlled storage and never used! (But if you can afford to do that, you can afford stainless anyway!)

Stainless steel nuts?!?!?!?
Boy, I don't check in for a while and important stuff happens. I bought the
wheels from Jim before the caps were available in stainless, and paid extra
to replace them with the stainless caps that Jim had made later when the
original chrome caps rusted in a matter of weeks.
Now, I see that he is offering stainless nuts, but only with the caps. I'll
have to call him, I guess. Has there been any issue with galling? I'm always
a little leery of stainless fasteners in applications requiring high
tightening torque. I would, of course, use liberal amounts of anti-seize
lubricant in spite of what I think is misguided advice from some
manufacturers to install them dry. Broken lugs are a royal pain to replace.

Jim is selling the stainless steel nuts but they ain't cheap (not his fault). I forgot how much but when you multiply the price times 50 nuts it is good chunk of change.

Rick,
Sorry that we did a poor job of notifying people about the SS lug nuts.
Call me and I'll make you a deal, as I cannot have you showing people
your rusty nuts.

When I got my Eagle wheels I also got SS washers and lug nuts. The washers started rusting within a week. I checked them with a magnet and the nuts had no attraction with the magnet but the washers were picked up like regular steel. That was several months ago and I am still waiting for replacements. I wish I had checked them before I put them on.

Don,
I presume you contacted us?
Let me know now so I can get them out to you n/c Monday.
Like anything else, if it is not right, call and please make sure we
handle it right away.
We are not a hobby shop, so you should demand a prompt reaction.
I have misplaced more orders here than anyone , so I always ask for
help when issues are not resolved promptly or not to your
satisfaction.
I will have our people check and make sure that the SS nuts are sent
with the SS washers.

Rick,
The fact that the stud has been broken in and the nuts have such long
threads length will prevent galling.
Using some anti seize helps too.
We have tons of wheels and I do not need that many during the winter month.
