Flat black lug nuts

Good day everyone. I purchased a set of HRE wheels in what seems to be a flat black. I am looking for a set of lugs that are black but flat not gloss. I have read through a few threads and researched online but it's tough to tell what the color is on the computer.

Any input would be appreciated.

Actually OP I apologize for my 1st post. I tried googling what I suggested & got tons of non helpful websites that didn’t differentiate between gloss & flat black in the description or just called them “black”. My mistake 🤪

These are not flat black but they are a very small diameter and work great... You barely see them...

I've never seen flat black, but you might get gloss and do a light glass-bead blasting. That's what I'd do in a pinch, but I have a bead-blaster, of course. Good luck!

Thank you all for the input. These seem interesting. Has anyone purchased these before? The seller states they are satin black and I found out that my wheels are actually satin black (not flat black as I stated initially).
