Bah! The lug nut plastic covers are cracking

Some of the black plastic lug nut covers are beginning to crack and one of them (the one for the lock nut) is about to fall off. Where can I get replacements? I saw some on ebay but not for the lock nut, which has a larger diameter.

Re: Bah! The lug nut plastic covers are cracking

should not be any difference in sizes ??? unless you have aftermarket locks . part # 15661036 is for newer wheel nut caps . will fit older wheels . check your local G.M. dealer .

Re: Bah! The lug nut plastic covers are cracking

I haven't noticed any difference in fit between the locking lugnut and the rest. I got some new ones on ebay a few years ago, clean them up and painted them black along with the center caps and they still look great. I didn't even consider that the sizes might be different - like I said, it's been a non issue for me.
