on a rat rod. I've had to much wine and can't tell anymore. Also there are a LOT of lug nuts out there.

You already answered your own question. But as Woody succinctly put it NO
When combined with a rat rod they're doubly not cool.
The closest to yes I can give you is that it would be fractionally better on a rat rod than on the E36 M3ty VWs I associate them with.
No.
Your car is not a ratrod.
This is a ratrod.
Spike lug nuts are only cool on cop cars and school buses. Everyone else is trying too hard.

Spike lug nuts on cop cars need to be fully functional (see Ben Hur chariot race) and not stamped covers to truly be cool, otherwise they are just posers.
I've yet to see anything that was improved with spiked lug nuts.
No. Never have been, never will be.
Yes. Yes they are. Particularly in appliance vehicles.
Agree the rice rod is not a rat. Rat rods have become people doing things as hacky and E36 M3ty as they can just to make it that way. You're building a hot rod. No, spiked lugs are not cool unless you have a flat black 1985 celebrity with red wheels

Um... I'm afraid to say... I like them in a proper application.
Camry? No.
This? Yes.
No, if you already ordered them change the shipping address to my house and I'll put them on my wife's CRV just to see how long it'll take her to notice.
We need a poll option for questions like this.

This is the correct answer.
Spike lug nuts are for people who don't give a E36 M3 what other people think. If you have to ask, it's not for you.

I wonder if you catch your shins on those when you walk around the side like you do when you forget the trailer hitch is in?

Whiskey will give you much better ideas.
I was talking to Jerry Falwell about this before he died, and he held the opinion that low quality, rainbow colored, male genitalia prosthetics would be cooler than spikes.

No, spike lug nuts are for people who want everyone to think they don't give a E36 M3 what other people think.
Much like rat rods themselves in their modern version.
To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter AT ALL what anyone else's opinion is. If you like them then add them.
This is NOT directed at maschinenbau but I'm begging anyone who will listen to not let other people make decisions for you no matter how small.
I like Rat Rods. Not all of them but as far as I can tell no one built a car to please me so who cares what I think.
If you ask someone if this red looks better than that red and just need some other perspective, so be it but no one gets to decide what's cool or not but you.
As a little aside, I sometimes listen to a podcast and the biggest farce was the (actually several) episodes wherein the host was telling the listeners how to be a man. He went on at length about what pants to wear and with what belt and shoes and jacket etc. He told the listeners that as a man, you CANNOT wear flip flops with zero exceptions.
The whole time, I couldn't get past the incredible irony of a guy listening to another guy telling him how to be a man by telling him how to dress and act.
Sorry, I'm just passionate about being independent. Sure, gather the facts and even others opinions but PLEASE don't do something because someone told you to... or to not do.
They have to be I just saw them on a brand new Suburban.
No, nope, no way are they cool. They aren't just uncool, they're dangerous and once I'm benevolent dictator they will be banned. Anyone who wants to keep them has to stand stock still by the side of the road and have someone else drive past them at 15mph as they grind away their shins with the stupid things.
