AMG rims - ugly lugs

I honestly think the AMG wheels (All styles) are the nicest looking factory wheels I have ever owned on a car (I have had numerous BMW's, Cadillac, Lexus, etc) - My one issue is the lug nuts looking like cheap bolts from home depot you would use in any construction application where you really do not give a crap about looks....That said, are there any upgraded ones or plastic covers out there?

Might seem a little petty (Or, a lot petty), but every time I detail the car I just look at them in amazement, wondering why MB settled for such a raw look...

I have chrome covers, but there are others available on ebay. We use 17mm:

I hit mine with the matching iridium silver paint when I painted my calipers and they look great.
