    I am looking for Black lug nuts that will work on the stock TRD Off-road aluminum wheels.

    On the aluminum wheels the washer on the lug nut actually makes contact and holds the wheel on. The Acorn type lug nut with a 60* tapered seat will not work. I believe I have to use a short mag or Toyota standard lug nut shown in this link. I know our stock lug nuts have 1/2 inch between the washer and the end of the lug nut. Just like the Short mag type.

    I would rather not paint the stock lug nuts because it will chip off when tightening/loosening.

    Anyone know where I can find this Toyota Standard lug nut in black? Will a washer-less lug nut work?

    Thanks.

    Ya, those are the acorn type with the 60* tapered seat. I think those are for the steel wheels.

    Will those work on the stock 16" aluminum wheels?

    After doing some more research I think these will fit if I use 2 washers on each one.

    The shank length is .75 on these and I need .5 so 2 washers on each lug should do.

    Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

    Johnecon, did you ever buy them? Did they work?

    They look like they are just painted black. The paint will chip when you put a impact wrench on them.

    It would be cheaper to spray paint your stock lug nuts and touch up the paint when it chips.

    That's a shame. I noticed it said powder coated but was hoping someone had experience with them. I wish there was an anodized option. I might have to look into having my stocks anodized on my own.

    Wheelers offroad sells black ET gorilla lugs. I'm running a set with no issues so far after at least 6 months.

    Thanks but the only black lugs I saw on their site were acorn style. If I was running aftermarket wheels there would be PLENTY of options! The ebay ones seem like the best option.
