Default Chrome Lug Nut Covers on WS6 Wheels (pic inside)

Well I got very tired of cleaning my wheels and having the faded black lug nut covers staring back at me. Besides that, I had two that were either lost or stolen at some point.

Yes, I know my wheels are polished and not chrome, but I figured for $16 it was worth a try. After I was finished cleaning up the wheels and putting the lug covers on, I was very pleased.

By the way, I used Meguir's Quick Detailer on the wheels for the first time and I am very happy with it. Just a quick FYI for the polished wheel guys.

Let me know what you think.

I actually prefer the black covers, I think it is a nice blend with the center caps. Looks good though and nice looking car.

If you had trouble with black ones getting stolen then the chrome are going to be worse.

Looks good

I did the same thing on my Z28 with the stock chrome 5 spokes, looks 100x better than the black caps.

I can get you some close up pics tomorrow. Bought them off ebay for $14.99 plus tax. Free shipping. Can't remember the company, but I searched Chrome lug nut covers and that is how I found them. They are the same ones that fit the Camaro and Corvette.

if you really want your WS6 wheels to shine, then wax them. the clearcoat on them is similar to what's on the car, so waxing them will produce great results, considering detail spray doesn't really do anything to enhance shine.
