FWIW, you can get yourself a full set of Gorilla chrome lugnuts with locks for about the same price that you'll pay at the dealer for 5 or 6 of these stupid covers and you won't have the PITA to take them on and off everytime you pull your wheels off (and, if you're like me, proceed to watch a couple of them rolling down your driveway in different directions with your hands full or accidentally stepping on one and crushing it knowing you paid $2 for the little bastard - but I digress...).

Got 20 of them on ebay for like $20. Think I'll be getting some chrom lugs though. I didn't know they were plastic covers untill I took them off, but now when I see them I just get that cheap feeling.
