https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My requirements were: closed end, steel, no key or splines, longer for easier changes, real brand name, and reasonably priced They have been fine through a few wheel changes so far. Havent used them on track yet. |

that sounds weird. we always re-torque every session, sometime during a race (enduro), never an issue.
We also always use aluminum lug nuts, never steel, never titanium. you don't want lug nuts to be stronger than your wheel studs.. lug nuts is easy to swap out during a race if you ever cross thread. steel studs not so much. |

Removing and reinstalling the wheels while hot was stripping the low quality studs and lugs on my WRX (same parts as the BRZ) so when I got my BRZ, I went straight to ARP studs. I tried the generic open steel studs from Amazon and Summit Racing, but I noticed the seats were getting visibly deformed over time. Then I got the steel Mutekis and all has been well for a pretty heavy season of driving.

Any recommendations for HPDE-worthy close-ended lug nuts already available on the market? |

Corrosion isn't an issue; you should be anti-seizing your studs anyways! If you want closed ended anyways, RAYS and Muteki offer a lot of solid options. |

I have typically used open ended lugs on my track cars as this allows the use of extended studs, but it also gives all the crap/excess anti-seize/shards of threads from when you just send it with the impact gun, a place to exit instead of staying inside the lug and causing an issue later.
