My carbon flash 5-spokes didn’t….but my Stance wheels did.

looks like the GM black lug nut option is $245.

no they don’t. Save yourself $150 and order from Amazon. Take the wife out to dinner.

You're giving GM waaaaay too much credit here.

I have set of black lugs I'm not using, they don't fit on my aftermarket rims so I have no use. Let me know.

It's frustrating because the visualizer / order build tool shows the lug nuts as black. Not exactly false advertising though it's really not cool of GM.

Definitely doesn't come with black lug nuts. I picked up my car 2 weeks ago with the Q9I black rims and they have chrome nuts. They do come with a black center cap. I ordered a set of black McGards from Amazon earlier this year in anticipation of having to swap them out.

They dont but they are a Dealer installed option when ordering the car as well as black locking lug nuts, My 23 had both options. See below. I’m sure they can be ordered through parts after the fact.

2LT with 19" FRONT/20" REAR 20-SPOKE GLOSS BLACK FORGED ALUMINUM WHEELS - mine came with standard black lug nuts with the upgraded wheels. No special order.
