Default Wheel studs

I have a 99 WS-6 with a moser 12 bolt. I want to mount my bogart wheels so I can run my car at the track with slicks. Want to replace the wheel studs with longer stronger ones but don't want them to be so long they will stick outside of my 10.5 in ZR1 wheels. Any suggestions on sizes and brands?

There's a guy on ebay the 'lug nut king IV' He sells some nice chrome open lug nuts with open ends that fit the stock wheels. I bought a set and am very happy with them. Most other open end lug nuts I found were shorter or zinc plated.
NOTE: these below are for 1/2 inch studs.

Actually, and I'm a stickler for details, but the long studs really don't look that bad on street wheels. I thought I would hate them but they really aren't bad at all.

Are there any closed-ended lug nuts that will work with our wheels and work with ARP wheels studs....?

I'm going to use 1/2" spacers and want the wheel studs to work with closed-ended lug nuts.

Im running 1/2" x 3" Strange studs and SS ZR1 wheels and I was able to get black, closed end gorilla brand lug nuts that fit. The 12mm and 1/2" nuts even use the same size socket, which is nice if you keep 12mm up front.
