Looking for OEM style black lug nuts - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I can't believe I'm actually posting about lug nuts, but am having trouble finding what I'm looking for. For years I've been using silver lug nuts from The Tire Rack that came with my aftermarket wheels. They've been fantastic. I think they're just OEM-style, possibly made by McGuard. They are not spline drive lugs. I'd like to find more of what I already have, but in black. As they are run year-round in Colorado, they should be closed-ended. My studs are of OEM length, but ARP.
Are these Gorilla nuts what I should buy? What else should I consider?
TIA

The closed end gorillas are solid lugs, they look good and keeping the threads clean was not a problem, and the knurled tip is nice to get them finger tight. I had them for ~3 years, they do get some surface rust where the wrench mars them after a while.

This is what I run and they have been solid for a few years

Thanks guys. Those are both spline drive, which I dislike. I ordered the ones in my original post.

I've had the same set of gorilla forged lugs about a year. They hold up well so long as you don't chip the paint finish.

To give you an idea how they poke on stock wheels. I run them with ARP extended 2.5".
