If memory serves, it was right around a week.

If you are talking about the plastic caps then they can be found at your local Wal-Mart parking lot

Don't do that.
That's an @#$@#$ move.

Back on topic.
Thunder Racing and other sponsors carry both chrome and black lug nuts (actual lug nuts, not just plastic caps) for about $28 shipped.

You can get chrome plastic caps from AfterthoughtsAuto but they cost just as much as a complete set of chrome locking lug nuts.

I don't know about silver. I haven't seen any.

Thats the brand that Thunder Racing carries.

This is specifically what you need as far as specs
(Regardless of brand)
Closed-End, Acorn Bulge, 12mm X 1.5 Right Hand Thread
(closed/open end is optional)

I just checked Thunder Racing's site, they carry Chrome, Red, Blue, and Black Chrome. Plain black was not listed.

also, i have a complete set of lugs and i tried painting them with some bumper spray i had from my old jeep. the paint doesnt stick, especially when im tighting the lugs onto the wheels.

is there anything i can paint them with so that the paint will stick pretty good. right now i have 2 diff kinds of lugs on my car and its ugly

Black Chrome looks like deep dark tinted Chrome. At a quick glance, it may look black or dark gray, but then you notice the deep reflective shine it has.

Ever seen one of those shiny dark gray/graphite round rocks for sale at a museum gift shop? Thats close.

I can't seem to find any decent pictures though.
