What lug nuts do you use?

New wheels this summer are gonna be black SS 10 spokes and was thinking getting the same gorilla lug nuts I used on my chrome wheels but in black:

What else do you guys use? I was thinking about some open end acorn style unlike the gorillas with the "caps." Lets see what you got.

I had those before I switched to ARP studs. They dont fit on the longer studs.

Im back to stock lug nuts with plastic caps. Which surprisingly fit.

Those look like the lugs I have, except I got mine from eBay and they were under $26.

I've got the black Gorillas and LOVE them. Pricey, but stand the test of time.

what plastic caps?

I found black gorillas for ~30 on amazon. def want locks, but if I use stock open end I dont know what I'd use for locks.

Anyone know of any stainless open ended acorns that come with locks?

Did you have your 10 spokes powdercoated? they look nice, I was going to epoxy paint and clear mine.
