Default lug nuts for Fikse FM/5s

My Fikse FM/5s arived yesterday <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" /> , and I need to get some chrome lugnuts. I was wondering who makes a nice, quality lug nut. What size to I need? I have 1/2" studs in the rear. I assume the fronts will need a 12mm closed-ended acorn style and the rears will need a 1/2" open end? Please let me know what everyone is using. Thanks!

Gorilla lugs are probably the nicest quality, and you can get matching lock-nuts for them. I got them at Discount Tire, but I think Jegs/Summit sells them cheaper. I have the 12mm on my fronts.

On the rears, I have 1/2" acorn style truck lugs. They cover my extended Moser studs completely, but I also have to use my 5/16" spacer to do so. I hate ugly open ended lugs and rusty looking studs showing.

Here are pics of front and rear:

I don't have Fikses, but I have the chrome Gorilla locking lug nuts, and they are top notch when it comes to quality!! <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
