I am betting you can order what you are looking for and have them delivered in short order. It is not like this is an urgent thing that has to be addressed before you can drive the car.

I ordered a set of Gorilla all black spline locks that make each lug a locking lug. $40 if I recall on Amazon.com

here is a link directly to the lugs.

Amazon.com: Gorilla Automotive 71633NBC "The System" Acorn Black Chrome Wheel Locks (12mm x 1.50 Thread Size) - For 5 Lug Wheels: Automotive Amazon.com: Gorilla Automotive 71633NBC "The System" Acorn Black Chrome Wheel Locks (12mm x 1.50 Thread Size) - For 5 Lug Wheels: Automotive

I've debating on whether to get a set of black lug nuts also. I've been using the chrome ones from my GS wheels, and I don't think it looks bad the way it is.

Do you all think black lug nuts would look better?

That looks pretty good with the white paint.

I know Discount Tire in Mansfield, Texas has a set. They stole them off my car.

Did not realize it until it was too late.

Dont waste your money ,i can remove them all in 15 sec. Without a key.its too simple to get around them.install a good alarm,when they jack the car up the alarm goes off and they are gone.
