I went with the solid chrome Lug nuts myself.

Does the chrome lug nuts look okay with the aluminum wheels?
Yes, they look fine untill they start rusting. Rust versus caps breaking off, your choice.
Jeepjeepster, is that the correct thread size in the link that you provided above?
(Conical Seat, Bulge, 1/2 in. x 20 RH, Closed End, Chrome Plated Steel.)
Oh, and the “McGard lug nuts are guaranteed for life. They're triple nickel chrome plated for lasting beauty, and are made of restricted chemistry steel for structural integrity. All McGard lug nuts are through-hardened and tempered, reaching the depth of hardness needed for their unsurpassed level of safety (unlike case-hardening, which is only a surface treatment). McGard lug nuts also offer a lifetime guarantee against rust!”
They are $12.99 for a set of 4. So lets do the math. I would need 6 sets of 4 which = 24 lug nuts. That would be 5 per wheel, 3 for the spare, and 1 extra. So that’s $12.99 X 6 set which = $77.94. Not cheap, but they sound like they are some nice nuts.
