Default Close/Open end tuner lugs

Hi guys i searched and can't find a answer. But is there a difference between these 2 types of tuner lugs? Or are they just different style and make ur rims look nicer? Will it make any difference which one to get? or does it also depends on the type of rims u have?

Close end

Open end

Extended open end

There is no real difference. But the open extended lugs are for cars that have longer than normal wheel studs.

My personal preference would be close ended lugs as I don't like having the studs exposed to water/dirt/debris etc as it might interfere with removal/installation of the lugs.

closed end keeps the studs not exposed to the elements.

open end exposes the studs, and is ideal if you ever decide to run extended studs.

extended open end are for extended studs.
