Got my TTIs on the car.
Only problem is that I have longer wheel studs and I have to use the stock open ended lugs. It looks really bad with the ugly studs. I haven't been able to find longer acorn styled lugs. What are my options? Does anyone make longer stud covers?
Also, there are some rough spots on the spokes of two of the wheels. Seems to be in the metal. What is the best way to smooth these out? What cleaners/polish should I be using?

I even tried putting the acorn chrome nuts on top of the stock nuts to cover the extended studs but that dosen't look good.

why dont you just take a wiz wheel or sawzall and cut them studs down. you probably wouldn't even have to but just to be perfect you could run a die down it to clean the threads up

Thanks for the compliments on hte wheels. Car is real dirty but you can't tell in the pictures. I have longer studs all around because I put them in for my Bogarts.
Studs have rust on them so I don't want to leave them exposed cause it looks like crap. I have open ended shank style lugs (for my Bogarts) that are long enough but you can't use them on regular wheels.
