Dark colored lugnut source?
Does anyone with dark colored wheels have matching colored lug nuts? I will be getting a set of hyper silver wheels soon and all I have are the chrome lugs.
What kind of lugs do you guys with dark wheels use?
Are they color matched or contrasting?
Does anyone have a source if dark lugs are available?
Thanks in advance.
p.s. Closeup pics of dark wheels and lugs would be appreciated.

Can anyone tell me what the thread pitch of our lug studs requires? Will these nuts work with ours?
This is the product discription:
Any ideas if the thread sizes are compatible?
This is the product discription:
The Muteki Wheel Lugs are shaped in a heptagonal pattern making each a seven sided lug nut. Muteki nuts look like an ordinary lug nut from a distance, but the only way that you can remove the Muteki lugs is with the special socket ONLY provided with the set. You'll get added security for your rims. The Muteki lugs also weigh 50% less than stock lug nuts (0.9 oz. vs. 2.1 oz.) On a car with 4 Muteki lugs per wheel, this can save you more than a pound! These Muteki lug nuts are open ended to comply with most race sanctioning bodies and can be used for everyday driving.
Comes complete with wrench socket and 20 lug nuts for 4 or 5 lug bolt patterns.
Note: M12 x 1.5mm application: Fits Honda, Acura, Toyota, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi etc.

These are what most people use, you want the "Acorn Bulge" design. I'm still using chromies with my black wheels but eventualy I'll get off my A$$ and pick up some of these Gorillas in black.
Hope this helps?

I have the spline drive lug nuts on my wheels in chrome. But they make them in black as you can see. They also make a matching locking lug.

I got some black "chrome" lugnuts by Gorilla from Thunder Racing when I did my machined face ZO6 wheels:
