I have ADV 10.1SL rims and just removed the GM factory lugs and replaced them with McGard spline drive lugs today.

The bottom of the spline drive lug can spin to help protect aftermarket rims.

If maximizing performance is important, these super lightweight black anodized 7075 aluminum lug nuts (paired with ARP studs) are a great choice.

I went online and bought them directly through McGard.

You can also find them on Amazon.

There is a company called Tikore that is making titanium lug nuts if you really want light weight and strength. But don't know if they make em for Corvettes and they are very pricey. Can't post because I don't think they are a supporting vendor so Google them.

Edit: They do, at $449 for a set.
