Default What are my lugnuts options with long Wheel studs?

I was wondering what lugnuts you guys are running with long wheel studs and how do they look with nice rims? I was wondering if anyone knew of any longer color anodized lugnuts that will look better than those little crappy ones that I will most likely be stuck with.
Thanks!

I have some long, chrome truck lugs on the back of my car. They have a conical seat like the stock lugs. I have the 1/2" studs on my Moser 12-bolt. I run the same 5/16" spacers on the back that I use for my Draglites, and keep the stock 16x8" chrome rims on the car. The lugs would not fit without the spacer (bottom out inside, not quite long enough) but I like having that spacer there anyways because it moves the wheel out a bit. The lugs still look good.

Most guys go with open end lugs on long studs, but then the studs start to rust and look like crap.

Take a look at the Gorilla catalog (careful, large), they make just about anything you could want.
