Default Wheel nuts (replacement covers).

Hello, posted earlier asking how you remove the plastic wheel nut covers (c5 2001 coupe). As I suspected it was an easy and obviouis method (i do feel dumb). My next question is does anyone know if you can purchace replacement ones, but in 'plastic chrome'. Just thought that they would brighten up the original wheels.

I've never seen chrome ones. It would look better to replace the lugs with chrome ones. I sell Gorilla lugs cuz I think they are the best. If you want some, they are $27.95 for all 20 lugs or $39.95 for lugs and locks.

I bought a set (chrome plastic) for mine on that famous online auction site. Think they were around $15 or so. Real happy with 'em. I also used a small dab of Permatex gasket sealer on them to make sure they stay put.

yup eBay...
But most wheel suppliers will sell you polished stainless steel for about $20-25 for a set for all 4 wheels...

I did this very thing recently. I bought them from Ecklers or MidAmerica. I'm not sure right off hand because I have bought alot of stuff recently. They do look nice when they are installed though.
