Default tuner wheel nuts

I am looking for some pictures of tuner wheel nuts on cars so I can actually see what they look like as in do they cover up the bolt or can you see the bolt at the back of them etc.....

thinking of some good black ones on my wheels but do I need to paint the end of the bolts so you only see black

Tuner wheel nuts are very thin mate and mostly open ended

I am assuming that either everyone just keep normal nuts n the cars as I want to see some pics of tuner wheel nuts on a car / wheel...... I know what they look like and can see millions of pics of them on website and ebay etc but none on cars

is there a reason why none are shown on cars ????????????

( not a fan of internal spline's )
Regardless of manufacturer
Can lead to real problems if not freq removed ( cleaned etc

No probs if it's a show car & u live in Nevada
But me personally ( & we all have our preferable )
I wouldn't use internals for a every day car in this climate , unless like I say , u remove your wheels freq

Don't let me put you off tho , if that's what you want - go for it

There is a load of choices out there
I use Work emotion RS closed lugs
Not the RS- R or RS-Z wich are open end
But if I was like you , & wanted the open end
I Would still personally go work emotion over tuner every day of the week ...
Hope this helps

No reason, I imported a set that match my summer wheels but I am using my winter wheels, hopefully pop them on in the summers, but they need to be removed and cleaned often

we do slimline external 17mm lug drive nuts on various race cars - cost effective too

OP - I've used the wheels nuts pictured above and no, you can't see the hub stud.
These are CDF titanium studs which are similar...,
