You talking about the plastic nut covers? Or the actual lug nuts?

Get a can of spray paint, clean, spray, and install back on the car.

I did this to mine and they look great.

As did I. The Black Lugs look good against the Chrome of the wheel too.

If these are 'just everyday' lug nuts, take one of the old ones to your local NAPA dealer and they will match it up.

Gorilla has "black chrome" acorn style lug nuts. You can get them at Summit Racing or any Discount Tire store.

Corvette lugs are 12mmx 1.50 and have a 60 degree taper. C4 and C5 lugs are interchangeable.

One thing you do have to watch for with aftermarket lugs is that the factory lug wrench (19mm) will probably not fit. Most aftermarket ones use a 13/16 socket.
