1. Material: Lug nuts are usually made of steel or aluminum. These materials are preferred to ensure durability and high strength.

2. Tapered Design: The lug heads are designed in the shape of a cone, which is usually placed over the wheel. This is important to properly fit and secure the wheel in place.

3. Screw Design: Lug nuts usually have a construction with the head of a screw and a threaded shank. This threaded shank allows the nut to hold onto the screw securely.

4. Proper Sizes: The lug nuts should be the proper size for a given wheel size and vehicle model. Usually, shaft diameters and nut thread sizes are specified in accordance with standards.

5. Markings and Color Codes: Lug nuts may have markings or color codes to indicate conformity with a specific vehicle make or model.

6. Torque value: A specific torque value should be used when installing lug nuts. This will ensure a safe and smooth wheel assembly. 

7. Anti-Rust Coatings: Some models may have special coatings to prevent rust on steel lug nuts.

8. Compliance and Standards: Lug nuts are usually designed to be compatible with a specific vehicle make and model. They may also comply with certain standards (such as ISO standards).

9. Nut compatibility: The lug nuts must be used in conjunction with the appropriate nuts. These nuts must match the thread pattern and size of the wheel. 10. Lug Wrench: · The appropriate lug wrench to be used during installation or replacement will assist in safely tightening and loosening the lug nuts.
