Technical Help identify nippled lug nuts

Can anyone help identify the application for the "nippled" lug nuts shown in the attached picture? I've asked around and people just stare at or want to touch them but have no answers. Thread is 1/2"-20. Thanks in advance.

 

i bet after market and the nipples are just for a different look............i want to touch them too.

 

Nipples...........did somebody say Nipples¡¡¡¡

 

Funny how the title got my attention.

 

You guys should act your age....geez, thinking about girls all the time.

....oh wait... me too.

The combo of sleeved threads with a taper indicates that the application was one of those universal mags with oval lug holes and washers.

The nipple? The only use I can guess would be to keep someone from using a regular lug wrench. You would need a deep socket to get a good grip on those.

 

Yea, you had my interest at NIPPLES too!! Do the nipples on your nuts get longer when its cold outside?

 

ET type nuts.

The nipple thing....that's to make you want to buy them.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Best Answer^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

That's a titty twister of a title.

 

Only if you rub 'em!

 

Funny, isn’t it? Everybody’s interest peaks at the mere mention of nipples when ever mammal, both male and female have at least two?

I was a bottle baby and have no real mommy issues. Now if he said Vagina lug nuts that would be entirely different, I like to eat at the Y.

I think logically if there was a mechanical reason the answer that @onetrickpony gave is probably as close to truth as any. When using chrome lug nuts you really don't want someone screwing them up with a lug wrench. Of course that could be a by product of the designer thinking that they looked cool.

 

This whole thread is just nuts !!

 

this thread is titillating.

 

the motor wheel spyder posted by egads looks correct but keep us aBREAST of what you find out.

 

They look like nippled lug nuts to me.

 

Just can't get excited about nut's with nipples

 

Ain't it just the 'TiTs'!

 

Egads! PLEASE Be careful!! ...you'll poke your eye out with that one!

 

i'm supposed to be working...

I am working,,,, really

 

I once went to the dealer for O.E. lug nuts. I told the person make and model of vehicle as requested. Then to my surprise he ask me "what do your nuts look like?"
