Default Drag Lug nuts

What are you guys using for lug nuts? Ive had some steel ext lug nuts for a while and they are getting beat up. I cant remember what they are.

I looked at these

I have exospeed star8's...i know they work with the shanked with washer type lug nuts ....where can i get those......whats the better conical type to use. not really a fan of the aluminum lug nuts.

absolutely hated using those blox/aluminum lug nuts. they strip way too easily if you have to remove the wheels often

i use the shank style on my bogarts

friend ordered his from IPG and they sent the right size since we had no idea which one to order

I went with these to retain using a typical 19mm or 3/4" 6pt socket to remove the lug nuts without a tool that could be hard to find if we were away from home.

They're steel and don't have problems galling. Smack them with an impact all day if you want.

what about evo lugs on bogarts? for a honda the thread pitch is the same but the hole in the bogart would need to be drilled out about .045. any thoughts?
