Chrome lug nut caps

Post by TenGHz »

I want to get a set of chrome lug nut caps for my new wheels. Anyone know where I can get a set? More importantly, what size do I need?

Anyone have them that can point me in the right direction?

:helpsmilie:


EDIT:
Will these fit?:

this is for the chrome lug nuts .
sorry I forgot what size I bought, but my local autozone has a display thingy where you take in one of your lug nuts and screw it on the display to see what size it is.

I almost completely forgot about this post! Oops! :ack:

I actually figured out what size I need. Our lugs are 3/4". So, I bought a set on eBay that are for double threaded 3/4" lugs. They were $15 shipped. The auction said they are for GM cars. They should do the trick nicely.

If they start flaking and looking like crap, I'll start looking around locally for some chrome lugs.

bubba -I'd love to get the short chrome caps -I switched to the short black from the stock long chrome because it's easier get in and clean the lug holes with the rims installed.
