Choices are a bit limited as they are a 1/2 UNF thread, so not all that common. They are also a flat style, not an acorn nut, so even more unusual.
The stock nuts have a stainless cap, not chrome.
I imagine there are two high quality options, either take the stock nuts and have them black chromed or get a new set of the adamesh nuts and do the same. Advantage of the adamesh set is that they are not capped, so won't get rattly with age.
Most other sets, even if they are the right thread, will be acron style, which is not the best voice for these cars.
