Default 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.

I picked up a set of silver open ended ones

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.
