Default Black lugs for factory wheels?

I have searched quite a bit and come up with nothing. Is there anyone that makes a black washer style lug to fit our OE wheels?

I can't remember - are the Crafted Line black wheel lug nuts black or chrome? I know the GS F Sport lug nut are chrome rather that the charcoal color of the wheel. I suppose you could have chrome lug nuts powder coated but you may not want to turn your local tire shop loose on them.

I'm sure I saw somewhere the OEM wheels need a certain type of lug nut? Recall someone saying your only real option is to powdercoat or paint the OEM nuts the colour you need. Different story if you have aftermarket rims.

It's something to do with the design of the nut versus the ones you can buy from eBay etc.

just make sure you get the properly tapered set. or else it will not seat against the wheel properly, and can be dangerous.
