Black gorilla lugnuts
I have a 2014 stingray coupe with Z51 wheels in black. Does anybody have the link or part number for the black Gorilla lugnuts for these wheels. Are they the same shape & diameter as the chrome OEM lugs. Thanks

I recently ordered them for my Z06, and must admit I was a little disappointed. The outside diameter is smaller than the stock lug nuts. They looked very small when installed. Still have the chrome lug nuts on for now and am debating whether I will keep them.

Yes, the Gorilla nuts are smaller, and that is why I decided to go with generic black powdercoated 1.5 x 12 nuts from ebay. Even the generic nuts are a bit smaller than stock, and you can see where the black wheels are not painted down in the recess where the bolt holes are and show silver around the nuts when you look closely. I "painted" my recesses with a Sharpie to solve the issue.
