I have looked at EAS and Turner Motorsport and they both have multiple options. Not looking for anything to fancy and want to stay with black. Any suggestions?

EAS has a Macht Schnell conversion kit but the nuts are fairly plain looking. Was also intrigued by the Blox Street series in black. Anyone have these with comments/guidance?

Another option is Turner offers OEM size bolts in black satin. Being Turner I assume these are good quality.

Thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions!

My lugs looked pretty bad too (but mine were 5 year old). I also wanted to do wheel locks, but decided to go chrome to provide some contrast to the gunmetal face. I just bought these cheap lug bolt covers for cheap :


FYI, replacement lugs are only $2.5 each. The reason I decided to skip on lug nuts is because I don't change my wheels all that often, and kind of scared of the idea of using Loctite in the hub (I'm sure that's a misconception, but I was ok with lug bolts).
