I don't even like the extended lug nuts, let alone these things. To each his own, though.

I wouldn't trust anything on Amazon, even a name brand you recognize. It's overrun with counterfeit products these days. Buy from a reputable reseller of auto parts.

They act as a cosmetic feature that adds character and style to a truck driver’s main focal point of income: their semi-truck.

Don't forget the naked lady mud flaps.

Yea I hardly shop on Amazon. Most of their sellers just drop ship from Alibaba wholesalers.

I could get the same item on AliExpress for 1/2 the price compared to Amazon.
