Really liking my 2025 Ram Tradesman Quad Cab with night edition package. Not as fancy as Rebels or Big Horns but works for me. Why on earth did they go with chrome lug nuts? Its the only thing I don't like. So looking for black similar to my stock ones. Lots on Amazon but seem to have rust issues. Rather pay once. Saw these on Amazon and they say they fit. Imagine that. Summit Racing states they do not. Anyone care to chime in. Thanks and have a great day

 
I'm with ya' there on chrome lug nuts on black wheels! Makes no sense to me. I swapped them out quickly for black. I only have chrome lug nuts on my golf cart.

I've had black lug nuts before and they all seem like the black either chip or get notched up. If you find some good ones let us know. I've got a set of TRX take offs in black and I hate to put something shinny with them.

I messed up the font in this message

 
They use the chrome for the precise issue expressed here: The black ones chip, and eventually they get surface rust where they chip.

I put black on my Laramie. I'm very careful about not hitting them with an impact, and that seems to have kept them look good so far. But, if it's a work truck or daily that's going to get abused, you're going to want to stick with the stock nuts.
 
How did I not think of that? That resolves the issue cosmetically I wonder if they come in a flat black
I Installed Lug Covers from ColorLugs. You can get flat black or a variety of other colors. :cool:

I replaced mine with the black McGard kit....buy once, cry once. They've survived probably 6-7 On's and Off's with no indication of wear, chipping on any other blemishes.
