Lug Nuts
I couldn't find qny other posts on this question, so here goes:
Can anyone make a recommendation for solid (not capped) lug nuts for a 2018 Grand Sport? I've seen adds for the Gorilla nuts, but I'm looking for more standard, single piece, chrome, hex nuts. I don't want to worry about the chrome covers coming off, nor do i want to mess with a "special" socket for maintenance .

I put McGard's black chrome on my all black car (along with black valve caps ) last year and I'm very pleased with them.

I have chrome plated extended thread sockets that I use with my track wheels, I purchased them from CCW when I had to use spacers with the front ceramic rotors. I am not sure but Gorilla may make them. They are pretty tough and have taken plenty of abuse with impact wrench hammering the off on every tire change. The stock nuts have been through almost the same number of hits but the outer stainless cover is distorting.
These also work with the stock wheels. The extension is .3 in and matches the thickness of the wheel so they don't interfere with tightening the wheel against the rotor/hub.
