Default new lug nuts

i need to get some new lug nutz, because i had closed-end nuts, but some have become open-ended over the years. i wanted to get some open-ended nuts, and was wondering what you guys would prefer. thanks.

I would say closed end to keep all the road grime out, and also put a little anti seize on them to make sure they rust on

good idea. i didn't think about all the dirt and crap that gets in there. so 1/2" 20RH closed end? i was looking at the conical 60 degree to match the countersink in my rims.

what ever you think is best, for your rim set up. also anti seize does not help them rust on, sorry for the typo. I dont get that technical about lugnuts i put ones on the fit my truck

locking lug nuts, Good idea, Thats so G-UNIT can steal your bling off your truck. I guess i wouldnt have that problem since there are no gang bangers where i live. unless there hiding in the woods
