[PICS] Replaced OEM lug nuts with black lug nuts. Black wheels...
Didn't noticed how much they stick out until I replaced them. Looks much better IMO. Thought I would share for those that have black wheels. 
Happy 4th!

Amazon:
These are smaller then the OEM ones as you can probably tell from the pictures. Shows a little of the unpainted black wheel but you can't really tell unless you are trying to look for it.

Looks sharp! I just bought my LT1 couple today and it has the exact same wheels, and I never noticed the chrome lug nuts until I saw this. Not sure whether to thank you or curse you!
Also, what did you do with your front grill to get rid of the chrome trim piece?

Since you went with the blacked out emblems, the black lug nuts go well with the car.

If you remember, report back here with the ones your buddy ordered. Curious to know if they are any larger then the ones I got. Thanks!
