    Try McGard. They make high quality lug nuts and locks and some are "black chrome".....

    I've always had difficulty navigating their website. If you don't find what you need, give them a call. Better yet, if you do find what you need, call them and verify that it is the correct lug nut for your application. Can't be too safe....

    Call them & ask. I know you'll need the 12mmx1.5 acorn style when using the steel wheels but IDK the length or pitch angle.

    So if you use your spare wheel you're supposed to switch lug nuts too? That doesn't make sense to me

    Actually, that is a very good question for which I don't have a good answer. Personally, I wouldn't feel too warm and fuzzy about using a mag type lug nut with a steel wheel. Anyone??...........

    Maybe it's kosher if the OEM mag lug nuts have a 60° angle.....??

    OME and worth every penny.
    yes, both types of rims, however the washers are not needed and prob. rattle. Just steel acorns are what comes from the factory.
    Don't worry about temp. use. As long as you're using a real tire and wheel and it's the same size or close to the other 3, all is well.
