The SR48 lug nuts come in a lot of (goofy) color options (which almost turned me off to them. Kinda infers cheapness). I got the plainest, silver/chrome nuts and they have held up well.

Another advantage I forgot to mention earlier is the knurled top. They're pretty easy to get started on the studs.

Another dissimilar metal to react with my magnesium wheels.

Try some lugnuts made of unobtainium.
Guaranteed not to react with any metal even the stuff they found at Roswell!

You old Submariners should be able to get me some !
Working with all that reactive metal; you should be able to get some nonreactive metals .

Titanium may be a better option - light, strong and inert.

Russ,

I looked at these but do they have an end cap to close off the opening in the end?

They do not. They are open ended.

For me, that was a good thing because I had installed long wheel studs on the rear of my car.

I can post a pic of how they look on stock and long studs if you're interested.

With my Z06 wheels on the rear, I also installed longer racing studs. The ONLY problem is the locking lug. For some reason it has a shorter internal dimension for the stud shank than the others. I had to cut about 1/4 to 3/8 off stud unthreaded end which is enough to have the lug seat properly.
If u have pics that would be good to see.
