Wheel nuts.

I'm sure the answer to this is going to be really obvious, but how(without damaging them) do you remove the grey plastic wheel nut covers.(2001 coupe)

Agree with stupid

Check out this thread... for less than a set of chrome covers, Bob of House of Wheels will sell you a complete set of chrome lug nuts similar to those that came on the later ZO-6's.

I've bought two sets over the past couple of years and they're holding up well if cared for and House of Wheels is great to deal with...

Good luck... GUSTO

The stock Z06 lug nuts are not chrome. They are steel lug nuts with a stainless steel jacket.
