lug nuts
After going to various auto parts stores ,I ended up at the local Discount Tire shop. They have a wide variety of chrome nuts and locks. Chrome looks good on them and I think they were only a little over a buck apiece.

Not sure what you mean but my 2002 with polished wheels came with gray color plastic caps that screw over the actual lug nut. Mid America sells a very nice Chrome plastic set that makes it look real nice and is perfect with your wheel lock.

Hey Floridasky
What about mid americas stainless ones?
My wheels came with a haze but your right l will zaino them at least 10 times before l make a move. So you think l'm better off with the chrome plated ones instead of the stainless. It's in their online catalog.

I think at some point during the '02 model year they switched from the plastic gray covers to full chrome lug nuts.

Good point, l'll check in the morning but mine was built later in the model year and it appears to be a gray lug nut cover.
Well the most important thing to do is strip all the wax off in the morning and start the Zaino process on it.

If you are going to "Corvettes at Carlisle" there is a vendor there that sells them for $1.00 each. I think in the past he has even taken your stock silver caps as a trade-in to reduce the price even further. I bought a couple from him as backups incase mine get damaged.

If you want chrome lug nuts, get them from Bob at House of Wheels. Good price on the set.

stainless or chrome?????
Is there a reason that l should use the house of wheels instead of Mid-America's stainless ones and what's the difference between the style of the 2002 lug nut covers and the 2004?
