How about these? I'm trying to find a measurement that's exactly OEM so I don't screw up my wheels, also trying to prevent theft.

Other than size, 12x1.25, I think the key terminology you're looking for is "flat top short shank". Thing is, I'm not finding anything in black... Only long shank in black for the mag seat nuts. You might have to go for chrome, because of those OEM rims. That really limits your options.

I believe the button top lugs you are referring to are called "Spline" lugs.
Here's a standard, washer-style (two-piece), mag-type, short-shank, hex-wrench lug nut with a flat top: (so many labels, LOL)
Here's a one-piece, six-sided spline-drive, conical seat lug nut with a domed top: (cheap, dime-a-dozen)

And here's a two-piece, eight-sided spline-drive, conical seat, composite lug nut with a flat top: (McGard)

LOL I'll let you continue to make up names - you seem to have fun with it.
I have never seen the washer-style spline lug, so I thought i was being smart for once, haha.
Thanks for the recommendation on the OE style Gorilla lugs. I'll need to get a set for my coupe wheels, as well.

News I've been holding back........ Akebono brakes incoming within a month. A guy I know who runs a shop changed out a guys G37 Akebono fronts and next week backs for a 6 pot kit. Gave him the fronts which I got dirt cheap. Now time to start saving for brake lines, rotors and pads! Glad I got wheels that clear them now lol!
Color on the calipers, or OEM silver gloss metalic?
