Question Chrome lug nut caps?

Does anyone know where I can buy the little plastic caps that screw on over stock lug nuts? I need a full set in **chrome**, but so far have only been able to find black and grey (Pep Boys). I got aftermarket wheels, but am still using the stock lug nuts from my swirlies. The Grand Sport wheels expose the nuts (no pun intended) and I didn't want to shell out a bunch for a whole set of chrome lugnuts. A guy at the Pontiac dealer said GM doesn't even make chrome caps, but I figure you chrome wheel guys have to use something, right? Autozone doesn't carry them at all. Any place on the net? TIA.

Related question: anyone know if LT-1 Vette lug nuts are the same as for the F-Body? I found chrome caps for the Vette, but don't know if they'll fit. Thanks.

My friend has metal ones that he got from a Buick dealership. I think they were for a Park Avenue.

They are the same for a C5, so should be they same as a C4
Chrome acorn nuts are 4.99 bag of 4 @ Jeg's so for $40 u could have chrome lugs and locks. I think the chrome covers run $40 also.

Also, I believe SLP sells a full set of 20 lugs and the chrome caps for maybe $25 bucks or so, I can't remember the price exactly, check it out.

I had the SLP ones on my car for a while. IMO they're not worth it. I took it in for new tires and they broke three of the caps. But of course I couldn't buy just 3, I had to pay $25 for all 20 and 20 lugnuts. I just figured screw it and went to Murray's and bought Chrome Acorn Lugnuts. Don't fall off, don't break, and look better. Was like $20. Much better I think.

I have the SLP chrome lug nut covers and I think they look great. I've had no problem with them, however I always take them off before taking the car in to get serviced. They are just plastic so if you really twist them they would break....
