    this is one of those odd ones. I love wat wheels but their nuts are nothing special to me. I think some duraluminum/7075 &/ open-ended nuts are far superior and the open-ended factor is essential on ARP extended studs. The nuts are a strictly performant part. They're going to see use whether you use impact guns or not.

    Any particular set that you recommend over the Watanabe ones?

    That's what I was thinking but the shipping and price is quite a bit more for the long version of the lug nuts so I wanted to double check before/if I decided to take the plunge
