Default WTB: Black center lock nuts for 997.2 GT3

I am looking for black centerlock nuts for a 997.2 GT3. I have silver now, and am willing to do a trade + cash. I refuse to pay the outrageous price that the dealers sell them for....

I put black bolts on because I am baller rich and bought black wheels for my car ... it looks better with black nuts and wheels ...

then I lost it completely and added the "4.0 wannabe" dive planes...

sadly about then I ran out of cash ... so no 4.0!

There is an enormous price difference at Suncoast between red and black centerlocks. What's up with that?

I see - thanks! Just read the site - red does not come with cone, inner ring, etc.

Greek, if they look better on my gold wheels we can swap, I have to see it though.
We still have to look good for cars n coffee..

Anyone selling black nuts? (I couldn't help myself) I need a set too!

Refinishing a set of oem wheels in black, I keep telling my self I'm being vain, but it just won't look right unless they are black too... Anyone selling?
