Closed end lug nuts on studs

I've seen a bunch of posts asking if there's lug nuts sold that are closed end, to use on a stud conversion...

I have a 14mm stud conversion, and just put black chrome Gorilla lugs on, closed end. They are sold at 2" total length, and fit perfectly on my TSW studs (14mmx1.5) with my Rota RBs. Can be purchased in either narrow spline configuration or standard size.

They can be found at sfxperformance.com, thought I'd share for those who've wanted the option on studs.

Nice Find! I've sent the info to TSW and asked them to think about adding them to the product list.

Good idea! Love my TSW studs, but after installing the open end lugs I knew I wanted them closed end.

The inside thread availability of these are slightly longer than the studs themselves, but not by much (maybe 1/4 inch tops?). But there isn't a closed end lug made (that I could find) at 1 3/4 inch in 14mmx1.5.

The black chrome of these blend right into the black of my Rotas, virtually disappearing. I know they're made in regular chrome too.
