Cool Cover Caps for Lug Nuts

FYI - Found great place for chrome or black cover caps(plastic) for 19mm lug nuts (#99-9999C) and also a kit of 4 for the OEM wheel locks with removal tool (#99-9999RK). Go to www.prestigewheels.com Other sizes available as well. Very fast and courteous service.

I think the URL inserted is incorrect. This appears to be the one, but not 100% sure:

Why? Not on my car, as it is not a boulevard piece of jewelry. I prefer the functional look.

Why? Do you really need to ask... they look terrible

I assume you don't wash your car either? Come on,... the standard rusty lugs on these cars are terrible looking IMO.

Thanks for posting.... I capped my ugly lugs a week after I bought my car.....

This message is for Chris who asked about chrome wheel lug covers that would also fit the standard wheel locks. Buy the set from http://www.Radusadirect.com #99-999-C-19mm complete with removal tool. I had to use a 1/4" chisel to shave the inside ridges to fit easily over the lugs and wheel locks. Be careful to shave a little only and then try on for fit. Worked for me.

Also, I don't mean to be argumentative, but how functional is your full leather interior?

Not a bad idea, but getting black OEM or chrome may be a cleaner look

Thanks! I am ordering mine now! I can't see spending 200+ on stainless ones then worrying about marking them up everytime i take the tires off.

My lock heads were smaller than the cover. I put some double sided foam tape inside to secure. Worked great. I did not have to remove any plastic material to make the fit on the lug nuts. I just pressed hard to get hem on. I have a 2009 CS2.

In my case, the caps were really tight and I still had to shave a little material off to even fit the lock heads. I presume your lugs are also 19mm. Strange unless your caps have been modified by the factory. In any event, it all works out! Since I track my car, I didn't want the chrome lugs as I'm always changing wheels.
