They will most likely be chrome.

I have used the same set of GM/McGard wheel locks for three C6's and my current '14 C7. Wheel on the floor, remove the OEM lug nut and replace with the McGard, easy and simple task.

They match the specs of the C7 lug nuts. I see a lot of items on Amazon say they don't fit the C7. I think Amazon's database is out of data.

I'll know for sure in a couple of months. I have those on another car now, so when my 'vette comes in I'll pull one off and see if it works properly.

Got the word from McGard on the right wheel locks for the C7:

Hello again Bob. We have 2 part numbers that will work for your Corvette, depending on which color you would like Part 24137 is Chrome and Part 24026 is Black. Either will work for your vehicle and both are available on our website. Thank you again for your patience. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask!
The chrome ones are $20 on Amazon. I didn't look for the black ones.

This. You'll be fine doing it the way you propose.
