I have some black chrome lug nuts from McGard and the ones that I got matched the stock lug nuts almost exactly. What I did was to buy four sets of five lug nuts and then bought a set of four wheel locks to add the sixth lug nut to each wheel. I've had them a few years now, but I use them year round and some of them aren't fairing too well in the Colorado winter weather. We don't use salt out here, but I have a feeling that the Mag-Chloride is doing a number on them (it can also do a number on the chrome wheels). I am thinking about buying a new set of black chrome lugs just for summer use and keeping the existing ones for winter.
