Last one I had come apart was due to rust swelling the cap.

I haven’t jacked up a LR nut in my life, but it’s the idiots at tire shops that sometimes even after I beg to loosen them by hand or I provide the darn socket that don’t pay attention and ruin my lugnuts!!!! Last time I paid $1300.00 for tires & when I got home I noticed a lug nut was messed up, upon closer inspection one entire side was messed up. I went back & complained!! They bought replacement lug nuts from a local dealership in Houston & they never made that mistake again. However the solid lug nuts completely eliminate the idiot factor for the most part.

I still haven't gotten a response form the seller but I did purchase a set of solid lug nuts from West Coast Wheel Accessories, W6014RL.

Those look to be probably the same as the solids that I have. They are plated, so they will start to rust a bit if you damage the coating. For my money they're worth it to not have to deal with those silly caps any more.
