Since I'll be putting on black wheels this week, I wanted to get some black lug nuts, but I have no idea what size to even look for.
HELP, please.
(and if you know where I can find some locking black lug nuts in the right size, that would be even better)

1/2" lug nut. It has not changed. Whatever style you like that has worked on previous Mustangs will work on the O5.

Hey, they actually look pretty good leaving them chrome.
Maybe I'll just leave the stock ones on there.

As for the size, if 1/2" and 12mm are the same, does that mean all the ones they're listing on eBay for the imports will fit? I found a lot of black ones, but they were all for imports.

Depends on thread pitch, and thickness of the thread.

Well apparently they are 1/2 20. Whatever that means.
The ones I posted the link to won't work.
Looks like I'll have to get a set powdercoated. I don't want to paint them. It would come off too easy.

I seem to remember finding some aftre I got the wheels, but I'm with Kahdir. I think they look better with the chrome. Especially with the black center cap that doesn't have a chrome trim ring like his... and mine.

If you're still interested, I'll see if I can find them.
And like I said above, they are 1/2 20. I assume that's 1/2" diamtere with a 20 turn thread.
