Default What nuts are you running?

After looking around at lug nuts for my new wheels, I was curious to see what you guys are running. Got pics of what you have on your ride?

Mine are just plain chrome M12x1.5 acorn lug nuts with 19mm head and McGard locks. Honestly not too many people care about the nuts. I leave all the colored S*** for the tuner kids. Just invest in a good lock set. I was debating on getting black lug nuts but I like the way the normal chrome turned out.

oem lol, muteki sr48 open ended neo chrome, didn't like them took them off for some neo chrome closed end, but don't really like those either cuz the way the neo finish is done, all I see on top of the lug is blue and green which looks like puke and mold. All the yellow purple colours are on the side which cannot be seen.

I bought two different sets of rims off tire rack. One cheap one expensive. Both came with lug nuts made for the rims.

I'll prob end up running regular chrome locks. I was curious to see what people were running though. I had some Neo Chrome on my 4Runner and all you saw was the tops that were green anyways.
