Finally installed the black lug nut covers from amazon. (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CHWGSZZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Fits perfectly over the lug nuts. Had to soak 4 of them in boiling water to get them to fit over the wheel locks, but it works.
Need to bend the extractor tool that comes with it. So hard to pull the covers off with how they have it.

I choose covers instead of actually black lug nuts because I didn't want to deal with the finish wearing off nor rust.

Did you buy the wheel locks from the same supplier and are you satisfied with them?

no, the wheel locks are factory ones. They have a huge head on them compared to aftermarket ones. I returned the aftermarket ones after I was able to get the cover to fit on the factory wheel locks.

I went this route as well, but after about 3 months all of them had split. I'm not sure of the brand I got, but they were cheap and from amazon. Ended up going with McGuard black lugs. So far love them. I hope you have better luck with your covers than I did with mine.

I went with the silicone ones, fit a bit better than the round ones.
