What lugs to go with white ZR1 SS wheels?

Paul painted my ZR1 SS wheels white this week so I'll probably go with new lugs too since the cheap chrome ones are flaking apart. I'm not sure which lugs to go with though. I was thinking the stock lugs with the black plastic caps would be a good contrast to the white wheels but I'm not sure if they will fit right on the rear 17x11 wheels. I don't think the chrome lugs will look right with the white wheels. Any thoughts?

Here's a 30th anniversary SS wheel with the stock lugs and black caps.

jeff- i have gorilla lugs on my car. they are a polished lug nuts and each lug is its own key. i have heard that the mcgards are slightly better quality but are a little more pricey. although i am quite happy with my gorillas... i got them from thunder racing and let me know if you want a link. if you dont like the chrome/polished look you can always paint them. that'll provide the contrast your looking for
