As far as I am aware there is one company out there that makes aftermarket lugs to fit the OEM wheels, but I can't remember who it is. You can NOT safely run other tuner lugs with OEM wheels.

The company that had them is no longer in business. You can get red or blue ones on ebay though, just search for ball seat lugs. You technically can run aftermarket or tuner lugs with your OEM wheels, but it is dangerous since it doesnt seat onto the wheels correctly and can actually unscrew themselves while your driving. Only get ball seat lugs with the OEM wheels, its not worth the risk just to have colored lugs.

Edit, i'm trying to find them again but don't see them anymore on Ebay. There were tons on there the other day though.

Ahh yeah. If you are looking for black ones you can get CR or NSX lugs. What I did was powdercoat the faces of my OEM lugs a black chrome color myself, and they look awesome. I didn't do the whole lug because powdercoat will peel under torque, and they would look like crap taking them on and off, so this way it looks like I have black lugs but the whole things arent done. Just an option to think about.

JBL Motorsports use to sell an aftermarket black lugnut for OEM fitment. But they seem to have closed up.
he seems to have some stuff he is still selling off.
