They are inferior the outer shell can work loose, can also get water and brake dust intrusion under the cap. This can cause the outer shell to swell( these were a real challenge on cars and trucks from Northern states, some needed a socket pounded on to remove them
A true 1 piece chrome nut IMO is way better and will last longer, Mcguard lug nuts are top notch

2021 CVO TriGlide - Sunset Orange & Black
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t What a ride!
I just learned something new this morning.............. I always thought that a Lug Nut was JUST a lug nut...
BUT I never ride my TRIKE in the salt, or dirt, so it doesn't worry me, that I don't have the best nuts in town.......I just want "em" to work!!

The lug nuts used on Tri Glides are 60 degree conical seat.
"Bulge" refers to the area just past the conical seat.
A quick description: a “regular” lugnut will usually utilize a 13/16” socket to install or remove… the “bulge type” which is used on the Trikes will utilize a 3/4” socket and will fit the hole opening of the wheel better, especially if using a thicker impact type of socket.
Although both utilize a 60* taper, there’s a little more contact surface area on the bulge type too.
I learn something NEW every day, and today I learned that there's a difference in lug nuts..............Thank you muchly!!
