Nice Lugs - Where??

I'm going to be running some 19" Volk CE28N (bronze) 9"F/10"R (still no idea on offsets ) and I'm wondering if anyone has found some nice looking lugnuts for their aftermarket rims. I've seen the McGuard, Gorilla, etc., but those are hardly nice looking.

When I was contemplating getting an Evo MR (before the G was on my list of prospects ) I came across an EVO with Volk CE28N (or something close) that was sporting titanium lugs. They were burnished to get that blue-ish hue on some of the lug, and I think they were even open-ended. They weren't custom, as I recall, but I can't remember the manufacturer for them.

Anyone found anything along these lines. I'm not crazy about the simple black, aluminum ones that I think are sold by Rays ( ? ).

I just use the tirerack chrome plated lugs for ease of use, durability, and easy
to replace.

This link shows another EVO with the same damn Titanium lug nuts... ...and these aren't the cheap looking titanium nuts sold by MachV.

Scroll down a bit and there is a great shot of a wheel with the lugs very prominent. Sorry I can't get the pic to display right here in the thread.

with the bronze ce28's I have on my Si, I used black rays lugs and it looked beautiful. You can get them at a good price from dali-racing.com for like 105 (price used to be 95, but still better than 130)

I was wondering how the black would look. It's either that or titanium, as anything close to polished or chrome would look a little funny with the bronze, IMO. Of course, they may not be that noticeable to many other people, but I'm a stickler for the details.
