Alloy open ended lug nuts for the track

Does anyone know where/if I can get black lightweight alloy open ended type lug nuts for the track?

Mahalo!

Why use alloy? I would suggest open steel lug nuts for track use.

Use steel Steve. You will hate the alloys - they sieze when hot, and will break easily. They are fine for street, but not for the track.

Use steel. There may be some VW ones that crossmatch with Porsche that fit the need. At least I remeber a post a while back mentioning this. Doesn't hurt to ask the VW parts depot.
