Not to mention the potential change in nut size keeping the socket from fitting the coated lug nut. I think I'd probably sandblast them myself, then just hit 'em with some krylon, powder coat them if that didn't work. As it is, well....the red plastic caps are $20 a set and will just press on over my existing lugs.
