Question lug nuts for STI wheel mod

Changed my stock wheels to gold STI 17" wheels. Because I didn't think before hand, I tried to use the stock SVX lug nuts. The stock SVX nuts will not completely bottom out in the STI holes plus the chrome lug nuts don't look good with the gold wheels. So what are the correct lug nuts to use? I would guess the nuts that originally came w/the wheels but I don't know if there is a part # for gold nuts or should I purchase gold lug nuts I've seen on ebay that lock?

Black Gorilla spline drive nuts look good with the gold wheels. Whatever you go for, you need a 12x1.25 thread.

I'll look for them but I was wondering about the shoulder on the nut that fits into the hole. The stock SVX nut isn't tapered enough to seat into the hole. What taper should I look for ?
