longer wheel studs question

I've got longer wheel studs on my car to mount the weld prostars I race with. The car looks fine with those wheels on, but on the street I drive with my salad shooters, and the protruding wheel studs/no center caps looks like crap

I'm looking into getting different wheels for street use soon and was wondering if there's anything out there that'll look ok? I'm guessing anything with exposed lugs would be fine, but I'd still want the lugnuts to have a closed end. Now that I've made my own post waay too confusing...any ideas?

thanks
Clint

Re: longer wheel studs question

I need to put longer studs in my car and was wondering how much work that is? I have a set of 18" wheels coming with no center cap that will look fine with open lugs, and my telstars need about 1/2" more stud. How long did you get and how much work is it to install them?

Thanks, Matt

Mine were on the car when I got it, so I don't know. Sorry

Re: longer wheel studs question

I've got long studs and with my ZR1's and Z06's they don't look all that bad.
You could use 2 lug nuts on each stud, an open one and then a closed one ontop.
