If you are refering to my coated lug nuts shown above, I install them using a vynil inserted socket and a socket wrench,then torque them with a torque wrench or jack handle very carefully. And I always use anti seize on the studs, something that seldom gets used untill you start to strip something. NEVER use an impact gun on them.They hold up fine on the road ,but an impact gun will destroy them in no time ,just like it does to a chrome nut.
