Orv, in looking at the site, I'm confused (doesn't take much, I know). The page shows an open end lug nut and a closed end lug nut that doesn't look long enough to cover the studs. When they come can you fill us in on what they are like? I like the idea, but I also want the studs to be completely covered as we live in the rust capital of the world.

Tom, I bought the closed-end lug nuts. They look like the original lug nuts, the same physical size, except for being 2-piece. The bottom part slips over the lug and seats the same way the original lug nuts did. The only difference is that the nut itself tightens down on the bottom part rather than the wheel. Dexter feels this gives you a much more positive torq action since the wheel does not physically touch the nut. I'll let you know if they in fact do not need re-torqing after traveling a 100 miles or so. As a matter of fact, I'll check the torq after 100 miles, 200 miles, and 300 miles. If they don't need to be torqed again then I would say they were okay.
The open end ones are just that. It's like the lugs on your truck, open.
