Your car is looking good. Those bulge-type lugnuts should be OK. At least the larger conical section makes full contact with the taper of the rim hole, whereas with the stock ones there is very little contact area.

I couldn't locate any extended tip nuts which would fit my wheels. The 0.625" extended tip diameter would not clear my 0.595" rim thru-hole. So I similarly purchased bulge-type nuts which do cover the 0.800" outer conical area. |
