^ This. Folks on the boards seem to think it's completely normal to have to buy a new set of aluminum lugs or replace 2-3 a year.

It should be alarming that you completely stripped a lug nut in 6-12 months and call into question the entire set along with the safety of the car. I didn't and it finally took me losing my wheel to wake up and look into the issue to even discover the countless horror stories. And I was actually checking them like a hawk and it STILL happened to me.

When I brought it to the body shop, the very first question the owner asked me "Aluminum lugs, ha? Yeah......"
