Black, but make sure to get a good set, the ones you have look like the type you would buy at Pep Boys, and they will chip on you in no time. Invest in a nice set and you'll be happy.

You can spend $90 in quality lug nuts that will fit the OEM wheel to a T, or you can buy a set of A/M wheels and pick up a nice set of Rays or Kics for a lot more.

The black lugs pictured look like they are wrong type for OEM wheels.......

Honda OEM wheels are ball/rounded seat...most aftermarket lugs are acorn/flat seat......

I definately would not run the wrong lugs because it means your lugs are never truly torqued properly and you run the risk of having a wheel come loose or off......

If you can find Black ball seat lugs then go for it...otherwise stick with OEM lugs
