Plus all 20 lug nuts are locking.

Before and after:
Just make sure you recheck the torque after a couple hundred miles. Changing brake pads would be next on my list
Here are the ones I went with; Power Stop Carbon Fiber
Front Z26-1835
Rear Z26-1718

Best Mod to date....

Light grey calipers, dark grey rims, chrome lug nuts, black center cap with silver bow tie. What was Chevy thinking?

That was my basic thought also. I mean, there's basically no chrome on the car anywhere (aside from some badging), so why give it chrome lug nuts?

In my pictures it looks like the lug nuts would be better if they filled the holes more, but if you step back from the car a few feet they really look great.

Definitely next on my list as well.

Agreed on changing the pads.
I thought the ZL1 rear pads were part #Z26-1053, that's what PowerStops website states? Are the Z26-1718 a different compound? Just curious.

Nope you are correct, my bad.

Bump.

I hate locking lug nuts. PITA. Anyone running a standard hex black lugnut they’d recommend? I know a lot of the options on eBay and Amazon can end up being shit quality.....so hoping someone can attest to a decent set.

Much better at filling the hole, and are closer to the same length as the OEM. They were twice the cost though...

**Edit, just checked the link price, much less than what I paid, only $20 more than the "smaller" ones.

Gorilla lug nuts . No doubt about it they make both locking and standard lug nuts.

Won’t be back in town for a few days, but the Wifey sent me this pic. I run some longer open ended nuts from this brand (Project Kics) on my time attack C5 and they are VERY nice. These were ~$132 shipped on eBay, and are significantly lighter than steel, and still very strong/durable. I’ll post the total weight vs OEM total weight once I install them in the next couple weeks. Going to pull my wheels to ceramic coat then over the holiday break.

I sell these vinyl lug nut covers for $16.00 a set, shipped in the continual US. I have sold about 15,000 sets of these to the F-150 and Raptor community with no returns or complaints. They are UV protected black vinyl and will not fade.

I only offer them for the factory lug nuts and factory wheel locks.

Fell free to contact me at mcbrayer.blake@gmail.com for ordering information.

If this is not an allowed post, I am sorry and will take it down.

Has anyone done this?
Pepboys was all i could find local plenty of choices on the net 14M x 1.5 KBwhite, Mcguard, or gorilla not sure they are worth the 20 extra bucks.

Might at well get the Stuff that accepts a 19mm socket so if you were to get after market the lugnuts would work..
