clean the old lugs with a wire wheel, apply a coat of spray paint to the caps and them apply a dab of grease to the threads of the bolts.

Saw a set of titanium bolts on E-bay last week for $225 that's why I recommended Raynor look into making some.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Have you had success with a reasonably priced set of aftermarket set of lug nuts?
My summer wheels went on this weekend and those lug nuts are looking not so hot and aren't going on so smooth.
Put caps on them. I have a set of these and they will not fall off. They look much better then the lug bolt too.

By the way, these are good to have in the frunk. They come in plastic. I have the metal one.
A hockey puck will work but these have the peg so you're in the right spot every time.

I got this set. The quality seem great.

I was using those for a while and I agree that they look good on the car. My complaint with them is that they are very hard to pull off unless you grease them in which case they come off too easily and you find the occasional one missing (or rather, don't find it). After a few on-off cycles they tend to split, at which point they just fall off. anyway. they are a good solution to ugly lugs, but they do come with a downside.
I'd like to find a reasonably priced set in stainless or titanium. I'd settle for satin-finish chrome.
I had spline drive set of those on previous car. I sprayed a thin rubber coating in the socket that would fit.
didn't work out too well. Kind of a hassle to keep clean.
I'd like to see a Ti color Krylon spray I could just hit the OEM lugs with.
clean the old lugs with a wire wheel, apply a coat of spray paint to the caps and them apply a dab of grease to the threads of the bolts. quick easy fix for all of your problems. at 85ft/lbs of torque the will not come loose unless you take them off! there is no need to purchase a new set, they will only corrode like the old ones. by the way, the paint will come off after a while. all you need to do is simply repeat the process above. the can of spray paint will last longer than the car will. to me a $5.00 solution to replacing the lugs which will generally run about 10x more. just my $0.02
