Where to get black lug nuts? Going to get the rims powder coated this week and need to get some black lug nuts. Looked on ebay but didn't see much. Where can I get a set for an '07?
Thanks

I'm using McGard Spline drives. Based on my experience the finish is significantly more durable than the finish on the Mutekis. (With that said, I've never used black Mutekis, so maybe they using a different finish technique for those.)

thanks guys, a couple of questions. Will the spline drive work on the stock rims? They keep referencing "tuner" rims. What is the benefit of these over the "acorn" style that look more OEM?

acorn is the angled seating surface. The Mcgards and any lugnut you would get would need this as well over the flat lug nuts.
Spline drives are normally narrower or at least the socket for them is. SO on aftermarket rims with smaller lug holes, they work better. On stock your fine as well.

Few other places that sell them. I would advise against the locking nuts if you use an impact or have nice wheels. I snapped a macgard locking nut recently as I use a dewalt impact for removal of lugs. Otherwise the spline drive is great and they have a bearing on the attachment area to prevent scratching of the wheel. The locking macgard tuner size doesn't have this. There is no problem using these on stock wheels if desired.
