Default Lug nuts

I never realized how hard, and costly, it is to find lug nuts for my car I'm trying to find a set of lugs with outside threads that accept the silver caps for a set of painted thin spokes I just bought. Now, if I wanted chrome, no problem. However I don't think it will look particularly good on the silver painted wheels. I can find the lugs and caps from vendors like Ecklers and MAD but for a set of 20 caps and lugs I'm looking at $70 before shipping Anyone have any ideas where to look for a more reasonable solution? Thanks

Stock part number is 22526184 for lugs, and they're coming up
for $2.66 at gmpartdirect.com. Lug nut cap is part number
14102345 and they're $1.26

So, yeah, about $70. Maybe one of the forum vendors can help you out?

Chrome lug nuts/lug covers look great on painted wheels.
That's what I have.
