Default Custom Lug Nuts Interrest

I started a post a few weeks ago looking for aftermarked lug nuts that would work with the stock wheels. So far I, or knowone else has found any. I am a machinist/engineer by trade and thought I would come up with a design that would work with these stock wheels. Something compairable in quality and looks to the Team 5 Zigen lugs on the market. Maybe offer Red, Black or Blue, but this would depend on interest do to the cost of having the anodizing done, they have a minimum charge. Basicially what I'm tring to check on is interest in these, it's not a problem to do a set for myself, but as you probably know things get cheaper when you make more of them. So what ya think? I'm not asking anyone to commit to buying them, I am looking for interrest right now, if you think the idea sucks, say so, I don't want to go to all the trouble of quoting material, machine time, anodizing, and such for hundreds of these if I'm the only one who would want them.

I like the look of the Zigen, they aren't made to fit the stock wheels though, and I don't want to paint the factory lug nuts everytime I rotate the wheels.

Aftermarket lugs only look good on aftermarket rims. Colored, aftermarket lugs would look silly on stock rims.

Powdercoated stock lugs look decent on painted stockies.
