Default Chrome lug nut cover?

Did GM put chrome lug nut covers on any of their polished F-body or Vette wheels? I am getting tired of painting my black ones. Happen to know the part number if so, or at least on what vehicle? My dealer did not look to hard, and I could not find anything with search. Thanks

The chrome ones for the SS came from SLP. I do not ever recall Chevy making chrome lug nut covers.

Do like I did and just buy chrome lug nuts. I was tired of those black covers flying off all the time.

The price including shiping was $29. I hope these are the right ones (they should be). I'll find out in a few days.
