I'm on my second Carbonized Grey XL. First one was totaled after an 11 month wait for delivery and a 14 month relationship.
I was lucky enough to find the same specs and color, so I'm now driving Fryck.2
I finally found the wheels that I want to put on the track and they are Matte Black any recommendations for matte black lug nuts please. Seems all I can find are black chrome or gloss.
TIA

Amazon $17.92 2 inch long splined 24 lugs with narrow spline socket, worked great for my after market rims only ones that were narrow enough to fit my rims.

White Knight makes a nice set of spline drive lugnuts and while they aren't true matte they're a fairly low gloss black. You could easily hit them with a coat of flat black paint and since the only contact areas are the splines they should stay looking nice and matte.

I ended up with these off Amazon. Nice and plain (no splines for me, thanks). DPAccessories Black m14x1.5 Lug Nuts - Closed-End Bulge Acorn Lug Nut for Cone Seat Wheels - 19mm (3/4") Hex - Black Lug Nuts Set of 23. Set runs $34 and contains 3 extra nuts. I wouldn't call them glossy, but I wouldn't call them matte either.

Wheels are powdercoated a darker gray color. The finish on the nuts has been proven to be pretty durable since I've had the wheels on and off at least ten times with the installation of my suspension. They've now been on the vehicle about 6mo/5000 miles and I think they've lost some of their gloss as well.

I've turned a glossy finish into matte by using very fine steel wool or scotchbrite pads. And you'd only have to do that to the outward facing part of the nut. Just an option if you can't find a matte finish you like.

I bought black silicon lug nut covers on ebay for $8 so I don't need to worry about my nuts getting scratched (pun intended).

😄 I also don't like Ford nuts, so going to a 1 piece design is also something I'm looking for. Thanks for the pun
