Help: Need Lugs Nuts

My Forgestar Wheels are not stud kit friendly for normal short lug nuts (I.E. can't get socket deep enough to tighten completely. I need conical seat lug nuts with longer shafts. Cannot find them anywhere!!!

Anyone have any leads? Vendors?

14mm x 1.5 need them about 2 inches long, open ended.

Automotion sells long lug nuts but they are not open ended. I'd also call Wheel Enhancement. They don't show anything on their website but they've been doing Porsche wheels for so long, I sure they can source them.

I used race studs from apex, also forgestar provides lug nuts for like 120 bucks I believe.

Stupid question, why don't you just use a small extension with your socket to give you more reach? That's what I have to use on my lugnuts in the rear as my lugnuts are quite recessed.

egapgt is infamous around these parts
Chevy,
I can tell you who not to use...poor (maybe even dangerous) quality, SS, expensive, with essentially a "no return" policy. PM if you want more info.

It's not that, the hole is just too small for the socket to fit into. So the lug nuts get deeper and deeper until the socket is only touching the top part of it and nearly stripping it. Hard to explain. I'm going to summit Racing tomorrow to see what they got.

I presume you're already using a deep socket, and still are running out of reach?
