    The lugnuts I'm using are that long...but I have aftermarket wheels. They would look funky on steel wheels for sure.

    They look silly with stock alloys, too...

    As shown in the picture posted by Cobrajet, mine has losted the luster through the years.

    Yes, the Dorman 611-141 looks like the stock but I'm thinking of other options ..

    I'm wondering how putting a silicon cover would actually look like.

    I've been wanting to buy those short open aftermarket lug nuts for too long .. they are very nice but after so much thinking .. assessing the pros and cons of using them, I've decided to drop the idea and opted to buy the cheap silicon cover instead.
