Default What lug nuts on your black wheels?

Hey I got some black ZR1 wheels on their way for my TA, but they don't come with lug nuts. I was wondering what kind of lug nuts all you guys with black rims out there are running that look good. Will the stock black lug nut covers (the plastic ones) look like total ****, or can I pull them off? I don't think chrome or normal stock lug nuts would look good, and I havn't been able to find black ones. I was thinking of just painting the lug nuts gloss black and hoping they don't chip or anything. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks.

Id have them powdercoated, not painted. The paint will pretty much wear off with the socket going on them.

Personally, if you wheels have a polished lip, id use chrome lugs.

Thanks, those pics helped. Did you powdercoat yours too, or did you buy them from somewhere?
And if anyone has pics of chrome on black that would be sweet so that I can compare.

I've got black ones with my black ZR1s. It might look better if I had chrome ones though.

I bought them black. Every once in a while I switch the black lugnuts out for the stock silver ones, I like the look either way.
