Lug Nuts
I have searched a bunch on here, but cannot find a clear cut answer to this question. What is the best option for getting black lug nuts on OEM rims. I know everybody will say dont use aftermarket lugs, but is there a way that anyone is familiar with to get OEM lugs black? Paint obviously isnt a great option as it will just scuff up the first time you put them on, and i thought of powdercoat, but then figured it would be to thick to get a socket on. Any recomendation?

A long time ago I wanted blue lugs for my other car... I bought a high heat engine enamel, painted the lugs and baked them in the oven to cure the paint..... when I installed them, I put a plastic bag between the socket and lug... It looked alright, but I chipped them when removing the lugs to go back to chrome lugs a when I was sick of the blue lugs a few years later.
iirc I used a slightly larger socket to compensate for the bag... maybe a 7/8 socket instead of the 21mm

Found a couple colors but couldn't find black, maybe contact the seller to see if they can get them in black

Isn't it a bad idea to put aftermarket lugs on OEM wheels? I was just looking at this..

I'm looking at getting some burnt orange lugs but not after reading that thread.

The lug nuts that I linked are a flat seat w/ washer just like the OEM lug sets.
