Default Gorilla Lug Nuts

Anyone running or had experience with any of Gorilla brand painted black lug nuts? I might buy a new set when i order the Black Rock wheels, though thought id ask about em to see if the paint actually lasts.

Thats what I use. When i bought my rims and tires the guy at discount tire threw them in. They are smaller than the factory lug nuts so you have to use a key to take them off. At least the ones that he gave me were, you might be able to order different ones.

No the black ones were out of stock. Mine are chrome.
A buddy of mine runs the black ones and the paint on them is fine. Hasnt chipped or flaked.

I've got the red ones. They've been on for a couple months. Still look as good as new.

I've used the chrome ones for years & when I got new wheels I ordered the black ones. The black ones rust real quick. But let me clarify ... I use the Gorilla locking lug nuts in both flavors & the black ones rust way faster than the chromes. I have to paint them.
