I like my chrome Spline Drive lug nuts. Good looking and tamper resistant, too.



Excaliber Wheel Accessories, "Tuner Kit" p/n IK303, 12 mm x 1.50. The kit includes twenty lug nuts, chrome valve stems, and one spline socket. Get a second socket. One for the car and one for the tool box.

I went with McGard. Look great and no issues, can't remember the size also went vehicle specific.

You can get chrome plastic covers to replace the originals e-bay or corvette central has them I think. That way you use stock lug wrench if needed.
