Default Pro Comp 7069's

Just put these on two days ago. They sent chrome lugs instead of black. Any thoughts? I don't think it's awful but just wanted to see what everyone thinks.

Chrome lugs are the way ta go. The black ones turn to chrome with all the rotating you have to do with mudders, leave it the way it is looks good.

I originally put black spline locks on w/ my 7069's. Inside a year they were rusty POS's. I now have Gorilla 7/8" Lifetime Lug Nuts. Not only are they holding up MUCH better, they're bigger, which I think makes them stronger, and since they have a nickel finish, the wheels have a little more flair than just big black blobs.

Stick w/ what you have.

See the rust?


Much better, IMO.

I'll be the other side and say go black Gorilla lugs. They are awesome.

I don't see why you would put chrome or shiny anything on a blacked out Jeep. Never have understood the factory wheels?

Jeep looks excellent BTW.
