Default Extended Lugs needed on OEM Wheels

Hi all. I am running the Z1 bolt-on spacers on my Z. I have 20mm front and 25mm rear. The 25mm rear's studs were too long for the stock lugs so I bought extended stock lugs from Napa, however over time the chrome has chipped and is showing surface rust.

What are my options? I don't want to get "tuner" lugs since they won't sit correctly against the wheel since they have a cone shape and not the stock acorn shape. Is there a company that makes high quality lugs that I could use on my OEM wheels?

Thanks!

Also forgot to mention my rims are powdercoated gunmetal. I know it doesn't matter but more for what would look good with them.

Look up gorilla acorn style lugs, im sure they have different colors for your needs. Gorilla has been making quality lugs for decades, can't go wrong.

Awesome thanks, from what I see I need the buldged acorn lugs. Should I go with extended lugs or open ended lugs? I actually like the blue lugs but they only have them in normal length and open end.

Here is my car for reference.

Ran Gorilla lug nuts for years without any issues.

They don't have extended lugs for our car, so my only option is open end. Are open-end lugs good? I don't want them to look like crap plus corrode my studs
