Blacked Out Wheel Locks Set???

I am in the market for a black out wheel lock set. Does anyone already have a set on? i am looking for some high quality set but the only thing i have found is this from McGard. it looks alrite, but i am interested in the all black lugs. No, I do not want to do a DIY of painting them black. thank you everyone!

I looked when I got my black wheels and finally gave up and ordered caps. Cheap and easy and best of all no scratches from your lug wrench.

There are special sockets that it won’t scratch the log nuts, I have used them and they work good.

thanks everyone for the input. the caps are a good alternative. i saw a thread on the c63 forum a while back and one sponsor had them but from the review, it didn't seem to please the crowd. i will ponder on this mod for a little while longer as i have a few mods i like to put in progress. if anyone see any black lugs, holla at your burnteggroll. thanks in advance!

K, finally had these Mcgards complete wheel lock set put in and I actually like it more than when I first open the box. my wheels are black and hi-polish so its not a big difference between the stock and these black Mcgards regarding appearance wise. although the paint has not chipped or scracthed, it is recommended the lugs be hand torx. the spec I believe is 100 but someone can correct me if I am wrong. I also went to ACG and they had the all black lugs but it was really hard finding the lock that I like so I opt for the McGards instead.
