Try Autozone or Pep Boys. I picked up a 20 set of Dorman's which included locks for $30-$32. These are black chrome.

There's also some open-ended ones for sale on ebay.

From what I've seen on House of Wheels site they only have painted ones. I think the first time you put a socket on it you would chip the paint.

Powder Coated. They don't Chip! I have a set on my T/A just like them. I've had the Wheels off and on a million times. No chipping..

I got these for my Z06, but went with Polished Rims instead of Black. I also have the same set of these in Chrome on my Z06. Best Lug nuts / Wheel lock in my opinion.

I asked Mike Golding ( www.thepowdercoater.com ) a while ago about powdercoating lug nuts and he said...

I don't like to. The powder will get chewed off when installing them. The only thing I recommend is doing the tops only, and leaving the sides bare, but you are better off buying anodized ones.

I opted not to powdercoat and go with a set from Bob (House of Wheels). Depending on your wheels, you typically only see the tops anyway.
