Whats up, looking to purchase some lug nuts. Now what I am looking for extended close end lug nuts, in steel. Most of the lugs I have come across have been aluminum and open end. I prefer close end to keep dirt/dust/water/etc. off the stud threads and steel...id sacrifice the weight savings of aluminum for steel any day for peace of mind. Here are some examples I found via internet seach but unfortunately they are aluminum...close end though but damn where is the steel variety? Its easier to find close end/short steel nuts but I want the extended close end steel pieces.

These ones are pimp, if only there were steel/close end.

P.S. Id consider titanium but that usually around $300+ The most ill spend on lug nuts is $250 and below.

Any leads is appreciated, thank you.

lol thanks for searching though. Yeah I cant seem to find any in the criteria I want.
Someone on another forum found me some but not sure if they are steel (not specified in the product description) and im on the fence of how they look. They look just like the muteki short close end lugs but extended.

Why steel? Steel is out dated in the automotive industry since 1982.5

Just prefer steel when it comes to lug nuts.

Titanium is the best option if money is not a concern, lightweight and strong.
