Default Lug nut covers

Has anyone tried these or have experience with them? Getting my rims refinished soon and in addition to new center caps I thought these would be a nice finishing touch. Ralph

I've got a similar product on mine. So far, they stay on (which I wasn't so sure about).

Hmmm, and only 24 on Amazon Prime, nice, thank you. Do you use the 17-19mm size bolt cap and happen to have a picture? Thanks, Ralph

I used similar from Ebay on a different car, appeared nice and made in Italy. Almost had to tap on with a plastic hammer and good luck getting them off. Busted that crappy plastic tool that's included. Scared me in case I was at side of road with a flat. I had to chisel the two test pieces off, tossed out the kit, and ordered new bolts.

x2, only issue is if you have 1lock on each wheel. They fall off the lock.

Correct - I went all standard lugs some time ago, so no problem. Color lugs were who I used, too. They sent a pile of spares and a few other colors to check out as well.

I think you have to use 17mm only because 19 wont fit in wheel
