Default Correct lugnut covers?

Tire changing guys must have not tightened one of my lugnut covers when I got new rubber put on and now one is missing. It's a 96 base coupe with sawblades. Should these things be chrome or silver? All the remaining ones are chrome.

Missing only 'one' - most any 'local' auto parts store should be able to match what you have on the other 19! Buy 'One' or 'twenty' is the decision! They should be able to also provide you the 'twenty' if that's your preferred.

if you only need one --

1985-1996 C4 Chevrolet Chrome Lug Nut Cover Caps NEW Corvette | eBay

qty. 5 - might be the better deal...

Set of 5 NEW CHROME Lug Nut Lugnut Cover COVERS Corvette Camaro Firebird S10 | eBay

silver caps were standard for the base and CE 96, black for the GS. since yours are chrome, most likely aftermarket.

Even though the tire shop I use is very good and they take care of my Corvette . I always remove and reinstall the lug covers myself . Saves them some time and gives me peace of mind .
