Due to the lug seat, you won't find much aftermarket. There are a couple of options, but they don't look any different than the OEM lugs. Other than you can find them in a black finish instead of stainless. I got mine from Joe@ZSpeed.

OP, I would do some research on such aftermarket lug nuts before putting them on your car. May not seem like rocket science, but a bad set can yield to major headaches.

Many years ago (2003) when I was a broke college student, I had gotten new wheels for my ricer civic and bought a set of "tuner" lug nuts. $65 for the set, so I figured, can't go wrong, right? One day, while re-torqueing the lug nuts, the key broke the nut, therefore, my wheel was stuck to the hub. One wheel alone cost ~$500, so I wanted to do anything but damage it. After multiple attempts and consulting with different auto shops, I had to literally drill off the wheel. After replacing the wheel, I bought a different set of lug nuts to replace the current ones. Unfortunately, the 2nd set rusted onto the studs, almost to a point where it looked like it melted onto it, except this time, it happened to all 4 wheels. So, back to drilling the wheels AND the studs this time.

And going back to the broke college student status, anyone that lives in FL knows about Bright Futures Scholarship and the few thousands of dollars left over after tuition is paid. I used this to buy the wheels lol.

I have used McGuard wheel lugs nuts/lock and never had an issue with them, so my vote is for them. And no, I do not work for nor am I affiliated with McGuard.

On a side note, I am not sure if you were looking for just lug nuts or wheel locks. If the latter, I want to point out that wheel locks are only a theft deterrent. If someone really wanted your wheels, they will get passed the wheel locks.

And LOL again @ the tags! Jarblue and Madwi going at it again?
