Yep, as you note, both show they fit a C7.

There are "tuner" lug nuts that have the right threads and cone that may not. If in doubt those that don't show they fit can be checked with a pea size ball of clay placed on the stud and checked for clearance after a nut is installed.

I saw a 4 per wheel set of "tuner" black lug kit from McGard but it said it wasn't for a Vette. Called McGard Tech who said they are for imported cars and although the thread and cone taper is same they are not made for the longer Vette stud! They could bottom.

He recommended their #64015 that I got from Jegs. See they are now $15. The are also on Amazon for a bit more and show they fit a Vette! Not as fancy looking as a "tuner" nut but very well made. McGard locks are what Chevy sells in their package for a higher price.

That is the only Brand I buy, beit chrome or black. Old problem history but it's mine!



McGard 64105

64015 or 64105?

Which is why I was only confirming that both the McGard part #s I posted above do fit the C7.

Foosh, Is there a big visual difference once they are on the car?

No, you'd never notice unless you're looking very closely. 64031 is a little larger (13/16" head) than the 64015 (OEM 19mm head), and longer. it fills the lug cavities just a little bit more, but there's still plenty of space for the socket.

However, they'll both just disappear into the cavities on black wheels.
