As per the title, Mrs Spaulding has recently had her stock wheels refinished gloss black & doesn't like the steel nuts, she'd prefer black.

Can anyone give me a link to replacements or spec of what we're looking for?

I can't help, I've been looking for ages myself so I'll be following this with interest too. No shortage of "tuner nuts" with chamfered end but other than ridiculously expensive from the US I've yet to find anything suitable.
You can get plastic covers but then you still have the locking nut exposed.

That was Simon's suggestion when I asked on here previously, spray and low bake in the oven but I've not yet attempted it. I did have a play at Plasikote with the centre caps, which we'll just call inconclusive and move on.

I think you'd have to get covers tbh.
Or after market wheels to take the tuner nuts but that a bit far fetched.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Considered those but no option for the locking wheel nut, the standard ones don't look bad against the red now I've got used to them. Stuck the chrome centres on at the weekend just for the sake of plugging the hole but they might end up black yet.

I did like the depth of the red on your wheels.
Like button anyone? Anyone? Lol ;)

Why thank you Sir! It was a bit of a leap of faith even after the "find your wheels" app thingy but I'm very pleased with the way they look. They need a good polish and wax though to try and stop the brake dust sticking to them, or some different pads.
