I’ve had these spikes on my lug nuts for several years and through rough winters (I have two sets) and I’ve left only my winter spikes on just to see how they last before showing any major wear and tear, color loss typical of most other brands, and overall damage. One small inevitable scratch on one spike one and that was from removing it (my fault) the lug nuts themselves rust a little too quick though so I do suggest the cosmetic sleeves you can purchase separately. These are the best spike/custom lug nuts by brand you can buy in my opinion. These are a good example of you get what you pay for. Top shelf quality and awesome overall durability and functionality. If you’re thinking about getting any aftermarket custom style lug nuts. This is your brand you should be looking at. Don’t waste your time with other cheaper brands. I have and I learned my lesson. True Spike for the win!
