Default Aftermarket LUG NUTS Help

I just got white rota slipstreams in a 40 offset for my 2000 black Civic EX coupe. I had a set of silver pretty standard looking lug nuts from Gorilla with one of the lugs needing a key.

I need some recommendations for shorter lugs (ideally in white) because the ones I have on there now look really long now. Definitely want to keep the key idea but I don't want to pay a lot either. My car is a daily driver, not a race car.

Your probably not going to find lugs in white, unless you powdercoat your current ones. Which would probably be like $60-$100.

I have Zenki lugs, they are nice lightweight, high quality lugs if your looking for some new ones.

the only problem is the that the lug nuts can only be so short because of the length of the studs. I belive that gorilla nuts make a line of lugs that have anodized ends, you might want to look for those and see what colors they have. Plus most gorilla nuts require a spline to get them off.

OK. From reading a bit, Zenki seems like a reasonable choice in terms of weight, looks and price. What is the correct size for my car? What color would you get for white rims?

Why would Zenki lugs be any better than Gorilla ones? The gorilla ones are slightly more heavy, have a specific wheel lock, come in black, and are half the price.
