Default Lug nuts

Just installed a set of black lug nut covers from the colorlugnut supplier. Great match with my black wheels and looks much better. Beats spending a $150 on a new set of lug nuts 👍.

Congrats on finding a nice set of lug nut covers at a good price, but pics would have been nice.

I had them in blue and freaked when I couldn't remove them. Had to take pliers to get them off. Using black lugs now.

You spent how much on the car and you are worried about $150 lugs? Yeah those vinyl covers look great.

What size are these covers? I bought some off Amazon, 19 mm and they were too small.

I have the Q9I wheels with the stock lug nuts and stock center caps and they just look great... black would have been too black. And yup if your adding something to a $90k to $140k car don't penny pinch.

Some are stretched near their limit just to get a C8. Added expenses are just that ... expenses. Nothing wrong with saving $$$ to achieve a desired effect.

If you're stretched near your limit to buy a toy you should set your sights a bit lower. I never buy anything that could put me in a financial bind, it's just not smart. I belong to a Corvette club and we have C4 - C8's in the club with few C4's and mostly C6 and C7's and a few C8's.The owners purchased a Corvette that fits in their budget. We have a lot of fun no matter what model Corvette you drive.

You equate paying more with getting more? It doesn't. These lug nut covers install super easy in 15 minutes. Including time spent patting yourself on the back for having a great idea. And are visually undetectable save the color change. Better yet, they uninstall easily if your mood changes.

If you are jacking up the car to change lug nuts your doing it wrong. Just change them one at a time. It takes 15 to 20 min and your done
