Stock replacement lug nuts are falling apart

[PaulRV6]

I bought a complete set of aftermarket stock lug nuts from a reputable vendor a few yrs back and have of them the caps are falling off the hex portion. What can I do to fix them? Should I just throw them out and get new ones? If so who sells GN lug nuts that will stay together? Thanks

They are not repairable.
Get another set. Get two. Keep the spares in the trunk.
Or find lug nuts that don't have the decorative cover. It always comes apart.

Is there an impact wrench being used.
If so installing them with hand tools will add life to the lug nuts.

X2 on a different style. Unless you are going with a 100% stock unit the original will separate with enough r&r.

What are the alternatives for a stock wheel? Thanks

Something with an M12-1.50 thread and a cone seat. Lots of choices in chrome, black and metal coated finishes.

I believe they have the METRIC stamped in the top

The only one we use is McGards.
Guaranteed not to peel.
The worst was Gorilla.. Pure junk.

CORRECTION:
The Metric Stamped Lug Nut is a RAYBESTOS 8979N (Flat Top Cap Nut; Stainless Steel)
and are not a "capped" lug nut.

And put the impact gun away, its not for shiny parts. save it for when your changing the tracks on your excavator. A 6 point chrome socket and breaker bar and the new set will last 10 years or 30 tire rotations.
