Default Chrome lug nut brands. Help me finish my build LOL

So I gave up on trying to find gold lug nuts since it'll be too hard matching my 24k gold. Plus I'm thinking about getting chrome door handles later so this will match! I'm looking for SHORT CLOSED end ones like these. But I just want to know the different kinds before I settle on a particular one. No brands under $25 MSRP please. I don't want to increase the chances of having my wheels stolen LOL.

Brands I've searched: Powered by Max, Work lugs, Muteki, Gorilla, 326 Power



Do they have a chrome one in this shape?

I had ones like the first picture. I think they were Gorilla. Nice set of lugs.

Look into McGard SplineDrive lugs. Relatively inexpensive and very high quality. I use them on my track wheels which have been on and off my car about a dozen times over the last 18 months and they still look brand new.
