Ok, so you painted your wheels black. Did you replace the lug nuts with black ones? Where did you get them? If you painted your wheels black and left your chrome lug nuts post some pics.

all depends on the look you want, some leave the center cap unpainted as well, some like the different look its all up to you!

Somewhere between being sane and insane!
I left my lugnuts alone due to the simple fact that here in CO the stupid tree huggers like to steal your lugnuts on the trails.With my lugnuts being chrome I can easily tell if there still there from a distance.

For what it's worth, I've seen for sale at the local Canadian tire store black plastic (both shiny and semi-gloss not to mention other colours as well!) lug nut covers that simply friction fit snugly over stock lug nuts.
Cheap and simple. And if you get bored of them, just pull them off.

Interesting… but won’t they eventually just fly off with the centrifugal force?
