Chrome One-Piece Lug Nut Sources....

Chrome One-Piece Lug Nut Sources....
I replaced the crappy factory capped acorn-style lug nuts on our S-Type with solid one-piece lug nuts not quite three years ago. I'd like to do the same for our XK8 factory capped acorn-style lug nuts. They are not as crappy as the S-Type factory lug nuts were, but I despise all capped acorn-style lug nuts....
Has anyone found a reasonably-priced supplier who offers a good solid one-piece lug nut that will not pit or rust? I want to stay with 23mm lug nut heads so I will not have to change my factory trunk lug wrench as well....

I don't know what to tell you. I certainly don't want to put out a bum steer and I can't attest to the tech specs of the nuts/ bolts. All I really know is that a local Jag enthusiast here in FL swears by the info.
A visit to Jon's local Mitsubishi dealer with a saw buck is a cheep way to sort it out says I.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I have Mitsubishi solid lug nuts (designed for the Chrysler Sebring) on our S-Type and they've done quite well in nearly three years of usage. But they are metric and the if the XK8 requires UNF, I doubt if Mitsubishi makes any for this application....
Can someone confirm the XK8 lug nut specs?

I may show my ignorance by asking this, but since the OEM wheels are hub centric, what would be the harm in using a tapered nut?
Dumb questions aside, what about something like:
Flat Chrome Lug Nuts 1/2-20 - 8 pcs
or

I did some research on this today, it seems not surprisingly that Tony is correct the change to Metric was with the new models (X150) in 2006.
