Default Question for all you guys with chrome Z06 rims

I just bought chrome z06 wheels for my 98 firebird formula i was wondering though what you guys have been doing about lug nuts. Do most of you get chrome covers to go over the lugs ?? or do you just get chrome lugs?? i wana have locking lugs so i am thinkin covers is the way to go.
Please let me know what you do. I am hoping to put them on tommrow

thanks

I tried both... I liked the black covers better than the chrome ones. It was too much chrome. The black covers broke things up a little.

Yes I did. See the pic above with his chrome lugs. I tried the same when we mounted them on 1 rim and I just think its overkill. The black lugs break up the look nicely IMO. To each their own and do what YOU think looks best!
