Lug Nuts
I have 12mm ARP long studs up front and 1/2" studs on the rear (so I need 10 of each size) and am wondering what you guys are using for open ended lug nuts that look decent. I thought about getting some stock style lug nuts but with black wheels I'm afraid that they will look tacky. I would prefer (in this order) black anodized, black, titanium, or maybe a green anodized color.
Thanks in advance

I ordered the ones in the link from eBay and they are JUNK, and they aren't tall enough so I can't fully torque the wheel down.
Then the other issue I have is the the front studs are 12mm and the rear studs are 1/2" and the Blox lugs you got aren't available in a 1/2"

Anyone else?
I'm considering just ordering some open ended lug nuts from Summit, but they are silver and I would prefer black. My brother ordered a set of the Summit lug nuts for his S10 and they are actually pretty good quality and are threaded through the whole lug unlike the Dorman lugs I had before that only have threads ~ 1/4 of the way into the lug nut

Gorilla has a good variety of lug nuts.

There's not that great a selection with the 1/2" compared to the 12mm.

Okay you can get the Gorilla open end lug nuts in a black finish, in both 12mm and 1/2".

Yeah, my mistake there's no black finish with the open end.
There's plenty available in blk with the 12mm in various closed-end lengths, but I don't see anything in blk with the 1/2" lug nuts.
BTW, I've never had any issues with them on 5 different vehicles over 20 yr period;never.
