John..do those have a bulge on the end that sits against the rim?

I originally got a set like that but no bulge and tough to deal with on the rims I have because they are recessed a bit.

Tapered on the wheel side, little cap on the outside.

Ok..those are the ones I thought they were.

Some lugs look like yours and have the taper. Others have a bulge at the tapered end. This allows you to put the lug into a deep socket and put them on the studs easily. Most people wouldn't mind either way..but my rims have a recessed area and you need the socket to start the lugs.

I just put mine in the lug wrench, hold 'em against the lug, slowly spin them backawards til I feel the threads engage, an spin 'em on. They are much deeper than any socket or lug wrench I've ever owned (excpet the POS that comes with the car).
