Settle down all of you, be polite and stay on topic please. Next personal attack = infraction.
@OP: I also think this isn't an easy choice; I had trouble deciding too. I decided silver would suit my black CRX and silver MR5's best. In the end I opted for flat silver rather than lustrous but either would have sufficed.
If you want something that matches well, I'd go for a silver set.
If you want something that stands out (IE blue/red/gold) then I have no idea, I think that looks sh!t.
Don't go for Ebay lug nuts IMO. There are some things I would be prepared to try cheaping out on, but lug nuts isn't one of them. It's a bit safety issue, not just for the protection of your rims. Get a good quality set with a lock nut and ANODIZED paint so that it won't chip/mark so easily when you take the wheels on/off.

If you want long nuts you could go with the Rays 'Duralumin' (JDMYard sell them). I wanted shorter ones as I was concerned that somebody could use one of those lockable/adjustable shifters to remove them if they poke out of your rims too much (having a mental blank and can't think of the name for the tool lol).
Also the Duralumins are more common due to the Rays label, and they share a common lock-nut so anybody else with the Duralumins can get your wheels off with their own key.
