Can someone show me OEM lug nuts for a 86 IROC

I'm just curious what the original lug nuts should look like on my 86 IROC. Tips where to get them would be helpful too.

TIA

The originals were junk. They were steel with a painted aluminum sleeve that was glued to the steel. The aluminum sleeve would always come off or tear, which left you with a steel POS that no american or metric socket would fit. GM has also changed the style, so even if you order replacements, they won't look the same.

Big A autoparts stores carry OEM-style repros that look just like the originals. They're about $5 each.

I decided to buy some black aftermarket lug nuts. Those cost me close to $80, but they seem to be holding up well.
