Wheels & Tires - Open ended lug nuts

Who runs them? Pics?

I was thinking of getting some because I am tired of these plated/chrome ones getting rusty after they get chewed up from tools after taking them on/off a lot. I figured the open ended ones will tuck in the stud hole more and you wont see anything.

Ebay forged aluminum (saved over 2lbs over the stock lug nuts)

They look nice but jesus they are long! I wonder if they make some that are half that long???

I like how these look over the black ones. I was afraid that the black powdercoat would get funky over time

I think the zinc plating would show rust quicker than the anodized black ones.

Autozone special...now that I see those long black ones, I may buy some of those.
