Hello Evan, I was just about to give you a shout out as I'm heading your way on the 22nd of this month. I would love to see and go for a ride in your Camaro, dinner is on me!
I prefer a closed style lug nut over open style as the closed style keeps any moisture, debri, etc. out of the contact area (thread & stud). I also cannot recommend using anti seize as this can cause for an inaccurate torque reading and possibly cause the nut to loosen. If you're actively tracking/racing your car then your studs and nuts will wear must faster and should be inspected or replace after X amount of time. This is why using a good high quality lugnut and stud combo like , McGard, ARP or MSI are important. Most studs will have a corrosion resistant coating. I've found the studs that do not have any coating on them are made overseas with lower quality metals and strip, break, corrode easily.
For open lugnuts I would recommend MSI. Very high quality, but only available in black.
Thanks and hopefully see you soon!
