What lug nuts / covers for R90s?

I am replacing my 15 inch R82 wheels with MINI (BBS) factory 16 inch R90 wheels. The R82s had a cover over the open ended lug nuts. The R90 has the lug nuts exposed. The stock exposed lug nuts will look ugly!!

Do I get nut covers for them? Whose covers fit?

Do I get new closed end lug nuts? Whose are the best?

New Kumhos are on the rims and they are ready to mount! Help me out please!

our lug nuts are odd... who even makes replacements? ebay maybe? i know the local autozone now carries powder coated lugs in a few different colors. might give them a call.

I had the ugly yellow-orange lugbolts, but replaced them with black ones from the dealer for about $40.

I think TireRack sells the black covers.

I found black plastic lug nut covers at http://www.bavauto.com Bavarian Auto that fit the 17MM BMW/MINI "lugly" nuts. Thanks everyone.

Oh ..... I was also told VW sells lug nut covers that fit 17MM.
