Don't think it's that rare, search around google for gunmetal. Project kics R26/40 standard color is gunmetal I think, some other ones should come in gunmetal too.

I know they have red (which is more like a pink IMO, Lol), black, and blue. The VolK Racing lettering on the sides of the nuts are the smae color as the allen screw that gets screwed in.

I wasn't too pleased with the shade of red they came in, so I sanded them down and get them painted to match the red lip on my wheels. Looks 1000000x's better IMO...

The only chrome ones I have found are the Mcgard ones someone posted on the first page. I have to find out the taper of my iForged wheels though.

Any "Acorn Style" lug nuts should work on aftermarket wheels.

J you could get some of the same lugs I'm running but just leave the center Allen screw out. Like I have in this pic:

I'm not sure I buy into this wheel lock protection. Seems like instead of just replacing your wheels when they're stolen, you'll also have to fix the damage from someone breaking into your trunk to get your wheel key.

what are you talking about

so your saying you keep your wheel key in your trunk? lol
i don't think people do that.

So i guess if someone goes to break in my trunk i'll end up with a broken trunk but still have all my wheels. Better than not having wheels and and perfect trunk.

It's more of a deterrent than protection. Wheel locks or not, people will still be able to steal them. Just whether or not they want to go the extra step to get around the locks. They're usually looking for something quick and easy and locks would take them longer and requires more work. They don't need the key to steal the wheels.
