Lug nut COVERS
I'm not looking for the actual lug nut but I have gray plastic lug nut covers that go OVER the actual lug nut itself. The ones I have are gray plastic and they don't look that good on my polished aluminum wheels? I searched everywhere and I can't believe no one makes them. I just want to dress up the stock wheels on my 2000 vert. Any suggestions where I can find the COVERS to replace the gray COVERS that are on my wheels now? Thanks in advance.

I didn't like the gray plastic covers either so I decided to replace with one piece chromed lug nuts. Did it three years ago and have been happy with the appearance and ease of on and off. I think I got them from a company called Gorilla Lug Nuts. Cheap too, less than $30 for all 20 if I remember correctly. Kept the originals in case I wanted to restore back.

There is a vendor on here (look along left side under wheels) House of Wheels that used to have a special on all the time for chrome lug nuts for $20 something for a whole set. Good quality, that is where I got mine.

Something else to consider would be to replace the stock gray lug nut covers with some black ones. I did that with both my high polished wheels and painted wheels and it looked very good IMO.

I wanted to replace them with chrome covers as well so I went to the stealership and priced them. I could have bought a rim and tire for the price they quoted me. No wonder GM got into financial trouble!
I replaced all of mine with high quality (triple chrome I think) lug nuts complete with a locking lug for each wheel for about a quarter the price quoted from GM.
