Default Chrome lug nuts?

My S55 has 18" chrome AMG wheels, but for some reason it has zinc lug nuts. I've talked to my local dealership, and they don't offer chrome lug nuts. I've even called Tire Rack and they couldn't help either.

I know there's GOT to be some place I can get chrome lug nuts for these wheels. I had chrome wheels on my Cadillac CTS and they had chrome lug nuts.

Can anyone offer a suggestion? The zinc just doesn't look right.

Thanks!

At autozone they sell brand new lug nuts that will fit. not sure what they are made of, but they are black. I just bought two the other day. I plan on removing all the lug nuts, wire brushing them clean and rust free, then spray painting silver. you could do the same but with chrome spray paint.

Good suggestion. I may give the chrome paint a try and see how it lasts. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip to the site. I wasn't able to find the covers you refer to, but there's a lot of good stuff there anyway.

Cheers.

I found the chrome lug nut covers in a paper catalog from PerformanceProducts4benz.com. They still are not listed in the online catalog. Anyway, I ordered them and received them Wednesday. So far I'm very happy. They seem to fit tight enough that they should fall off easily, and they look great.

Thanks again for the tip!
