I thought so...I went over that entire site looking for something to verify their 'disclaimer' and there was nothing. Now I know I didn't miss anything if you couldn't find any references either!
The following is directly off their web site:
Warranty / Returns
To the original purchaser McGard LLC warrants its parts, other than chrome plated lug nuts, against defects of workmanship and materials for a period of one year. To the original purchaser McGard LLC warrants its chrome plated lug nuts against defects of workmanship and materials for life. Chrome plating on lug nuts is warranted for life not to chip, peel or rust under normal use and care.
Individual parts suspected of defects must be returned prepaid and adequately packaged to McGard, 3875 California Road, Orchard Park, New York 14127-4198 USA. After inspection, parts will be replaced without charge if found to be defective. Any chrome plated lug nuts returned under this warranty must be accompanied by proof of purchase. This is the only warranty on McGard products and no other express warranty will be binding on the manufacturer.
Now unless I am mistaken, RR'ing lug nuts for normal tire changes and rotations seems to me that it would qualify as normal use. There isn't a single place on their web site that indicates splined lug nuts are NOT covered.
And the lugs were purchased through Summit Racing, so I don't really want to dispute the charge and dick them because McGard's stuff sucks. I'll fight this battle with McGard and see how they attempt to scurry out of their own warranty wording.
