"Longer" lug nuts...? --EDIT: *sigh* Apparently I can't read, someone posted this exact same question mere hours before I did:

Mods, my thread can be locked. Sorry 'bout that...

I've been considering getting some new wheels, my current set are Konig Appeal Opals which have a center cap that covers up the lug nuts. I'm also using ARP hardened studs, the ones I got wound up being a little longer than the stock studs so I had to use an open-ended acorn lug nut - since they were hidden I didn't care.
A lot of the wheels I've been looking at *don't* have center caps so I'd like to get some nice chrome nuts with a closed end, but there don't seem to be any "longer" nuts. The closed-end nut I tried bottomed out on the stud before getting seated on the wheel. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way around it?
