Some wheels require different 'seating' lug nuts but honestly- you can plastidip anything and get the black look for quite cheap.

Check out gorilla lug nuts.

You can definitely get black lug nuts for your Jeep...

I have used these lugs on my stock wheels and my aftermarket with no issues: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/go...4nbc/overview/

And this is a set of 24 so you get the 3 extra for your tire carrier and 1 as a spare...

Lug nuts for the stock JK are 1/2" X 20 with 60° Cone.
The shape of the nut contact surface has to match the wheel. So, you need to find out what your aftermarket wheel requires.

I highly doubt you will find blacks ones at an auto parts store. I bought my set off eBay.

I bought black from gorilla. And, I just saw black acorn lugs at O'Reilly the other day.

Discount also carries these. I got a set for all the lugs and the spare for under $50.

Thanks guys, this morning i called the manufacture and they are gonna send me black lugs for those rims! For some reason the guy who owned the tire shop kept telling me they never made them in black and when i first bought the rims they came in chrome and he tried to make me put them on but i said no wwway.
