...cover that is. For those that have lost nut covers on our tire nuts, what replacement have you gone with....and, does anyone have any spare stock nuts they want to part with?

Doesn't anyone use McGard lugnuts anymore? I used a set for years on another car and they still looked like new when I junked it.

Does anyone know if the gorilla locking caps can be used with an impact, or do you have to use a tire iron??

I just found exact replacements at NAPA...$3 a piece I think. Just tell them the car make/model/year. ;)

It's best not to use an impact wrench with any type of after market locks. I use an old type star type wrench to take on and off then use my torque wrench to do the final tightening.

If you still have the covers glue them back on with a good silicone adhesive ( I used Dow Corning 3145). Seems to work.....

I am confused?? Theres covers on the lug nuts?? I used to own a 1991 Chevy Camaro. It had a black plastic screw on covers for the lug nuts. The lug nuts on my Marauder is all one piece. I am missing something?? Please let me know. Thanks.
