Gorilla Lug Nuts: Where are they made?

I got a set of lug nuts from Discount Tire and planning to install it on Monday with my new Enkei wheels. I have a set of Gorilla lug nuts on my Grandmother's Camry with no problem in the last 3 years, but they were hidden behind a cap.

Since my OEM lug nuts work; I would love to get McGard but can't find a seller locally. Rays, Skunk2, and Muteki are too $$$ for everyday driving. My question is how good is Gorilla lug nut against the environment? Will the chrome chip or rust and where is it made? (Can’t find any info on Google or their website.

Also, would cheaper White Knight or Dorman lug nut work or should I stay away from them since they are made in China/Taiwan?

I might sound anal but I don't wait my wheels flying off.

To be honest, I've run Dorman lug nuts on my '91 Camry for 10+ years and they are not rusted or worn in any way... I had one go bad because a friend changed a tire on it and crossthreaded it on the lug, destroyed the threads on both.
