Chrome Lug Nuts
Had to take my C5 to an out-of-town dealer this past summer (break-down on a trip! 
) and the mechanic used the brutal lug wrench on my chrome lug nuts, messing them up bad.
I'll get new ones this spring, but I'd like to find those fiberglas or teflon sockets to use on them here at home.
Where can I get them?

I believe you're right, Sears has them.
On another note, and not trying to hi-jack this thread, but what is this "black chrome" lug nuts I hear about? Would they look good on black motorsport wheels as opposed to just black lugnuts?

Looks like they do them specifically for Porches, but I'm sure they can be found elsewhere.....and of course I'm assuming there will be a "Porche" socket that will be the correct size too. I also found a link to an E-Bay site selling sets too.

Sears sells them, but you may have to order them.

Yep, part number 112-058, 19mm 1/2" drive, looks like $33.
Would be nice to get a part number from Harbor Freight, I'm sure they would beat that price above?
On another note from another poster, no Coscos here, but I'll check SAMS for the black chrome.

I went on line at Harbor Freight and could not find it. So I went to the store and looked and talked to the Manager, could not find it.
I also stopped at Pep Boys and they did not have it.
Does anyone know for sure that Costco or Sears does carry such an item.
I would really like to buy on.

I've got the GM lugs with the stainless steel caps. they look like chrome yet you just take the caps off before putting the socket to the lug, no damage done. You might consider these before you buy chrome ones again. just my .02.
