black lugs vs chrome lugs - chrome irocs

Hey guys, just looking for opinions on what most would consider a minor detail, but it's been driving me nuts. I can't decide between chrome lug nuts or black lug nuts on my chrome irocs.

Look at the pics, and let me know your opinion.

Also, I'm thinking of having the wheels stripped of their chrome, and redone with the stock look (machined/painted). Share your opinion on this as well, as I've been debating this for a while with myself.

I'm also going to post this in the auto detailing section if that's ok. Sorry for the crummy pics.

If you're going to make them look like factory wheels I think the black lugs would look best.

Re: black lugs vs chrome lugs - chrome irocs

I was going to say Black until I saw them in your pics. It makes it look like uncapped lug nuts are on there in the pics, not sure if it looks that way in person. I'm not a fan of a lot of chrome, but the chrome lug nuts do look more appropriate with that wheel.
