Ball Seat Lugs?

Anyone know of a site that I can buy ball seat lugs? I'm looking for a black or dark gun metal color? I checked with a local Honda dealer on a set of lugs from a CR S2K and the wanted $160 for a set

Am I right in my reading that I shouldn't run anything but ball seats, or can I roll with a different style? Concave or something else maybe?

I've been looking around for a few days and found a few sets online that say ball seat, but some of the places selling look a bit sketchy? I'm just looking for something that can handle the elements in winter.

It depends on the wheels. Do you mean changing the lugs on your stock wheels?

The internet is full of them:

Additionally there's also adapter, like little washer looking things to adapt from acorn/tapered to ball seats. I've never used these, but they exist.

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I was looking for a set to go with some stock wheels. However I wasn't sure about the quality of some of them that I had found.

I was actually just looking at one of those eBay options earlier today and almost pulled the trigger, but figured I would at least ask on here before I decided to just go with a random set.

I have those black eBay ones
Had them through the last 2 winters as well.
They still look ok, but it's time for new ones. They faded more than anything.
I'll prob buy new ones and keep these for winters

Definitely need ball seats lugs-I got some red ones years ago. They're very inexpensive-you won't have any problems!

I have a set of the eBay ones for almost 2 years and no discolouration at all.

I was weary of buying those coloured eBay lugs, mainly because I heard they chipped very easily. Also, colour and style of the lugs were very limited.

I wanted a custom look so I got tuner lugs, and used washer adapters.
I also wanted wheel locks, which I don't think eBay offers in colour.
