I love it the way it is. But I do agree with you on the locking lug. Just bothers the crap outta me. But every small thing bothers me!

If that's the case, I'd make myself get over the difference in the locking lug nut. Looks good from a distance anyways.

You might be able to make the locking lug look like the others if you painted that outer ring section of it black. That way the chrome center section is almost the same size as the rest of the lugs and it might not stand out as much. They may scratch when you use the lock tool, but it is an easy fix if that really bothers you.
