Default Lost plastic lug nut covers

I lost a couple of those cheap plastic wheel lug covers on my stock wheels yesterday. Wondering if I should just take them all off. Does anyone sell some nice lug nuts that don't require plastic covers on them?

You can buy chrome acorn nuts from about anywhere for around a buck apiece. Those plastic covers are junk.

Thanks...yes these plastic ones are junk....several are striped so no wonder they flew off. I've had this wheel on and off a couple times this week looking for a front end rattle. Didn't like these plastic covers right away.

Oh...Nice! Those look great on your stock wheels. Definitely will pick some of these up. Guess the chrome would look best with the silver wheel. Very nice..thank you.

Just about any tire store should be able to get you some chrome lug nuts that will work or check with many of the forum vendors.
