Default any open ended lugnuts/cool lugnuts on stock rims?

hey anyone out there know if anything cool looking lugnuts will fit a stock wheel? i like the look of the open ended lugnuts with the finger grips on the end (little texturing). i wanna run extended lugs and open ended lugnuts just for a little different look.

any suggestions?

Usually aftermarket lug nuts are tapered and should not be used on stock wheels.

Those look great powdercoated. Does the coating come off easily on the lugs?

I'm a bit confused with this since I though the OEM wheels were lug centric and could use any aftermarket lug. If you compare a stock lug to an aftermarket, the taper looks the same as well. I certainly could be wrong. I used the stock lugs with aftermarket rims for a couple days and they seemed to fit quite well.

You're wrong. The taper is different. OEM lugs are acorn shaped and most aftermarket lugs are cone shaped.
