16x8 OEM 5 Spoke Wheel Question I’m looking at a set of 16x8 OEM 5 spoke wheels (‘97 model) to replace the salad shooters on my ‘95. Are the lug nuts exposed on the 5 spoke wheels or are they covered by the center cap? Just wondering if I’ll need to get new lug nuts in they’re exposed.

I assume you're speaking specifically of the Camaro wheels ('97-'99 style 16x8s)? If so, the lug nuts are covered by black plastic lug covers that are press-fit into the center cap. These covers screw onto the outer threads of the stock GM 19mm open-ended lug nuts originally issued for this application, firmly securing the center cap in place. So what you see on the outside are the lug covers, not the actual lug nuts themselves.
