Default anyone got the bullet lug nuts?

Just pick my winter wheels on the stang and i want to get some new lugs for next summer... My question is how much longer are these bullet lug nuts then the acorn ones? I like them but dont want them to stick out to far on the 03 cobras and look dumb... anyone have them or got a pick of them on a wheel?

I have them on my car and they dont stick out that much. The only problem I had with the is the lug key kinda sucked. Cant give it that much torque or it'll slip off. So I bought a breaker bar, an extension and a deep well socket and just leave it in my trunk. Otherwise, theyre not that bad. Here's an old pic of them on my car. Not a very good pic for the lugs, but you can still see them.

i just went all 5 bullets. Your normal tire-iron will not get these off, you need that deep socket.
