    DT is correct. The lug nuts you need are not available in black.

    And turn off your caps lock.

    Got the same problem. I have looked everywhere for some black lugs but no can do. I might powder-coat them or plasti-dip them... I bet somebody has to make black ET lugs... :confused:

    You won't find a finish that'll hold up to the lug wrench. Accept that you'll have chrome lug nuts and be happy that your truck doesn't vibrate at speed.
