Post Lug nuts length with TC 105 N ? 27/35/50 mm ? Advices on brand ?

Hello,

I've just received my WedsSports TC 105N. Really nice wheels, I hope to have them mounted quickly.

I know the lugs are M12x1,25 on our car.

However, I've seen various sizes for the lug nuts : for instance, Rays have short 27 mm, medium 35 mm and long 50 mm available.

I'm no fan of looooong nuts that protrude a lot from the wheels, so please tell me which ones I should buy in order to have a good tightening without protruding too much.

Thanks in advance.

I have the 34mm Muteki closed ends and they're about perfect in my opinion.

I had Rays lugs in the past, red ones to be exact. I liked them and they felt weightless. My only discrepancy was that they faded to pink after one year. Ill be getting a silver,black color for my new set of wheels.

Get steel closed ones. The aluminum ones will always fade over time and if you plan on taking the wheels on/off every now and then, they''ll start to wear out.

The OEM ones work as well, but look pretty cheap IMHO.

May be the lighting but both the lug nuts and wheel are black.
