2107 F150 Lariat SCrew with 34k miles (yes, I have a garage queen). Had to get new tires and the PVD chrome chipped on all 4 rims. Additionally, the lug nuts swelled and Discount Tire said they could not put those lug nuts back on because they would be unsafe. I had to buy a new set of better quality lug nuts ($150). For a truck of this age, low miles and cost, UNACCEPTABLE

That sucks. I have a 2012 with Chrome and have not had any issues whatsoever. I did have to change out lug nuts. They were around $90 when I changed mine.

Did it chip when they put it on the wheel machine? That's not a very common issue at all.

The stem swelled or the nuts? Or both?
The treatment is not the same.

I paid far less for steel lug nuts.

You would think they could have fixed this problem by now with the lug nuts. I had a Ford truck that had this problem back in 1998. The lug nuts were steel with a chromed cover on them. Had to replace the lug nuts and the shop that removed them broke 3 bolts getting them off.

I got free replacement lug nuts from Discount Tire. The BIL of a guys working for me is a store manager. The Ford lug nuts with the thin covers over them are junk. Whoever engineered them should be throat punched.
