I've looked around and I'm having a hard time finding either open or long closed shank splined lug nuts...black preferably. My current lugs won't work with my new wheels, and I'm running 3" Moser 1/2-20 studs in the back and the 12x1.5 studs that come in 1LE rotors on the front. So I need different lugs for front & back, but I want to keep the same key. I'm also curious if someone makes a key that fits a regular 1/2" drive ratchet, rather than just the hex that needs to go in a socket and then ratchet.
This is basically what I'm looking for (except without the 4 locks and the correct threads)

In this pic you can see how tight the wheels are. I had to borrow a 3/8 drive thin-wall deep-well socket to even get the lugs on, and I still scratched the inside of the lug hole on the wheel. Acorns would probably look better, but I'd have to cut down the wheel studs...which isn't a bad option. The long Moser studs looked badass with the thin face steel wheels, but not so much now.
