You are even MORE nutz! Lol!
I have seen similar long style like you are talking about. Very cool, but the thought of that kind of $$$ for a few lug nuts just seems silly. Until you realize they are fully custom machined, hand made...then it makes sense.

No, I have not seen the cooler yet. Maybe today sometime. I'll let you know if it does not show up in the next few days.

I'm not sure what brand of spline lugz I have, but I know I didn't pay $188 for them. I think this must be one of the extremely rare cases where I actually found something in Canada cheaper.

I also had the 12x1.5mm studs on my AFX spindles and 1/2x20 on the rear. Like some of the others the different sizes just bothered me. When I got my Forgelines I also realized the standard length studs were just too short. I removed the front studs and tapped the holes for 1/2x20 and installed 3" screw in studs. I also installed 3" studs in the rear. I used a set of Summit racing lug nuts I think they were $20 for ten or something like that. They are 13/16 but the deep well impact still fits the wheels.
