Black lug nuts suggestions

Sorry but I'm away from home and the car. They have relatively large heads and you can't see the silver below. As I recall they have a matte finish, dark gray, not quite as black or shiny as the wheel. They press on fit almost too easily, but no loss so far. Of course you don't need to remove your lug nuts for this product, which for me made the deal.

I went with McGard, which is what GM sells under their name for twice the price for Locks. Have used them for my C6 in Black including black lugs. Repeating that thread:
Used McGard black lugs/locks on my C6 and they lasted 6 years and looked new when I sold the car. They are NOT painted they are made in the US and here is what Amazon/McGard says about the construction:
"Chrome plated lug nuts lead a tough life. Think about it, harsh elements, nasty corrosive wheelcleaners and lead-foot drivers. Not to mention overzealous impact guns and loose fitting lug wrenches. This kind of treatment destroys ordinary lug nuts which turns even the best looking wheels ugly. Tough Nuts can take the punishment and keep your wheels looking beautiful. Tough Nuts are guaranteed for life not to rust, chip or peel. McGard manufactures lug nuts in the USA to meet or exceed OEM standards for safety and durability. Every lug nut is fully machined from restricted chemistry steel made specifically for McGard and through-hardened for its unsurpassed level of safety. McGard’s plating process includes three layers of nickel and one layer of microporous chrome/black producing a superior finish while protecting against rust. Tough Nuts are designed and built for the real world, because life is tough. Bulge Style Cone Seat lug nutshave an extended seating surface that is designed to match the wider seating surface used on some aluminum wheels. For use with steel or aluminum wheels with exposed decorative lug nutsthat are tapered at the bottom."
I bought mine from Jegs but you can put the part number, 64015, in google and see who sells for least.
