Lug Nuts and wheels question
Ok guys, before you guys jump on me again, the membership is in the works. Give me a week or so and I iwll be a member. NOW, as for my questions. I have installed black 18" RUF wheels from CP's car on my Speed Yellow C4S. I REALLY want to get some blackk lug nuts for my car, to help them blend in with the wheels. Does anyone kknow what brand is good, where I can get some, etc etc. I would like ot get something like McGard, or something that has all 20 nuts as locks....and preferably something lightweight, so reduce a LITTLE unspring weight, since the damn wheels are so heavy. 
ALSO, the wheels were chipped up a bit when I bought them form CP, so I am takking them to get powdercoated again, so they will stand up to a good beating of rocks. Does ANYONE in the SEattle area have some wheels that they can loan out ot a "soon to be rennlist member" while my wheels are in getting PC'ed. Heckk I guess I should get my breaks done at the same time as they are faded and not in the best shape! Thanks guys! Appreciate ANY help! I will have pics up of my wheels within 30 mins and will post a new thread!

You should be able to get the McGard locks through Sunset Porsche or McGard directly.
Hope that helps.

Adam,
I just got a set of light weight alloy black lug nuts from Ralph at http://boothedesign.com/boltsstudslugs.html for $95.00 (I think he is still a RL sponsor). I've bought many items from Ralph and always top shelf quality. (No afiliation, blah, blah).
Good luck.

Tony,
Are the black lug nuts from Boothe Porsche items, or aftermarket? The last time I checked his site, it was not clear. Apart from the dealer I've found Pelican to reference the ones they sell as 'OEM'.

Andreas,
No, they are not Porsche OEM. The are well constructed and very light. Here are some pics.
He also has longer lug nuts if you need them for OEM wheels.

Called him. You did you get yours for $95....? I need 16 of them, and he wanted $80....so 20 would cost $100. Just confused. And the socket is $29, not $25. What did you pay? Just making usre I get the best price.
