Can Aluminum Trailer Wheel be Used with Stainless Steel Lug Nut
Question:
I see that you recommend stainless steel lugs on an aluminum wheel. I had an aluminum boat lift with stainless steel bolts/nuts and learned the hard way that galvanic corrosion occurs rapidly around water. So I question your recommendation and was wondering about alternatives to stainless steel lug nuts.

Our aluminum wheels like the part # AM31208HWT that you referenced have steel sleeves where the lug nut inserts which prevents the galvanic corrosion you mentioned when using a steel lug nut like the # AM26NR.
