Matching Black Lug Nuts for 1LE wheels

Whocares05050 · 12-29-2018, 11:51 PM

Has anyone here gotten rid of the tacky chrome lug nuts and installed some flat black or other tastefull lug nuts?

I have the stock chrome ones with a single chrome lock and it looks terrible IMHO...

Of couse I would like to retain a locking lug for anti-theft deterance as well. Im looking for good quality that will hold up to maring.

Any pics? Suggestions? Thanks.

My front lugs for reference...

I got THESE, and they look and work great, but I have since discovered that the large cone is a match to the oem lugs, which I believe would be THESE

I have those also and they look great, that and every lugnut is now a wheel lock. You want the "large" cone the other (cheaper) ones are for aftermarket wheels.

I thought of doing this but I fell like wheels ar not black and unless I could get ones that matched more closely, I would just leave chrome

I would agree but i have a dark grey camaro and there is zero chrome anywhere and i am installing smoked lights and reflectors as well and the black 1LE goodies just makes the chrome look very out of place.

Do those lugnuts match in color in person? Maybe the rims just dirty but they appear to be off color? Im sure from 10ft away they blwnd in fine

Are those hard to remove once on?

They have an EXTRACTOR that the goes in and has the tabs to catch the back side of the cap to allow you to pull them out and off. Probably a good thing to have if you're going to buy this kit which is relatively inexpensive.
