Default New Lug Nuts

I think my 08 could use some new wheel lug nuts. Anyone have a good place to order from? My car has the stock chrome wheels and the lugs look polished and not chrome. I assume the factory lugs are also polished and not chrome plated?

You could just go to autozone, advance auto, pep boys, O,Reilly’s, or any other part place. It’s lug nuts, don’t over think it.

I'm a big fan of chrome McGard lugnuts, the chrome does't peel.

Try the lugnuts guys if you want to order online.
OEM are clad with a stainless steel cover and will deform with multiple removals and torquing.

I use Gorilla lug nuts, they are a solid steel and chrome plated. The OEM nuts are very cheap and have an even cheaper tin cap over the nut that gets pretty beat up after a few removals and installs.
