I use black lug caps and black center caps on my Firebird. I think the black offsets the chrome very nicely

I have silver lug nut caps on mine, but I seem to lose one every time I have the wheels off & put them back on.

I'm going to chrome lug nuts, I believe that 12mm x 1.5 will work.

Black lug nut caps. got spare lug nuts & caps from SLP (lost 1 cap needed it) for $20. You could only buy as a full set.

Black caps, I had chrome, I like the contrast of the black ones so I put them back on.

Good luck! Im not sure if they are making any sizes in the old KDW tread design. They are a great street tire, and Im not sure what I will use when mine need replacing.
