Need new lugs
The original lugs on my 997.1 TT are rusty and I can't stand it anymore! What are my options? I don't want OEM lugs b/c it'll just happen again. I was thinking titanium but, at about $800-1000, I'm just not sure it's worth it. Do they make stainless or something with a rust-resistant coating?

THANKS!
