Im looking for gold zinc plated specifically. No chrome.

Ok; Summit has silver zinc but no gold.

I've only seen silver recently, but you could take chrome lug nuts and get them Titanium Nitrided for cool factor and minimum stiction. Otherwise I'd just probably have some clear zinc plated lug nuts replated with yellow zinc...just make sure that someone who knows what they're doing does it since hydrogen embrittlement becomes more of an issue the higher the tensile strength of the material.

I'll check my sources and see if I can't track down the gold ones you mentioned seeing. I know ARP has them in 5/8"-18 and 5/8"-11, but I don't think they have anything smaller.

Thanks Tobin,

Yea I need 1/2 -20 with a smallish hex head. I think im using 3/4 if im not mistaken. If I cant find them to buy I'm going to look into getting them plated. Thanks for your help!

I think there's been some problems w/ some platers recently. The yellow is a post-plating chromate dip, and there has (I've been told) problems in getting the chemistry right after changes last year in permissible levels of hexavalent Chromium (see Erin Brockovich)
