Which Lug nut?!?
Acquired a sample long T/A lug nut from Cobra Automotive. I think I know which way I am leaning, but I wanted to ask the forums opinion too. Which would you go with?

I like the longer nut but I like the end of the stud showing slightly. if you could find a nut that would stop at the end of the thread that would be the look i like

I do like the looks of the T/A long nuts, but from a weight standpoint I voted for the normal lugs with the studs showing. I obviously like that look too since we did that with our 66.

Nick, I voted the long ones, however I would cut them down or machine them from scratch such that they maximized the thread contact and had the bulleted noses sticking through. I don't know why, but that T/A style nut just makes me want to go to the track.
