Which Lugs Should I go with

right now i have polished lugs painted black which didnt hold as well with the impact tools and such on them.


thinking about getting some new ones since im also selling my old wheels.

trying to decide between 2 styles. both will be polished (chrome/ shiny) to match the bolts on the bead lock.

looking at open face buldge (acorn)



or long bulge (acorn)



both going on these wheels

The long ones came with my wheels that I just bought and they thread really nice compared to the short ones imo. The short does look better though but my center caps cover them.
