OEM style one piece black lug nuts

I found these on ebay. I had been looking for something better than the beat up lugs with black caps I had on my car. They have the recessed circle in the top to match the OEM style. They're not a bad price at $40. I looked on their website but it looks like only the stock style with the black caps over the lug nuts. They have chrome one piece lugs there.

I forget what magazine it was, but they suggested using a plastic zip lock bag over the lug nuts when removing them. This was in the ‘80’s when these cars were new and they were removing the wheels on a brand new Camaro Z28.

In recent years, I’ve been using the plastic bag trick to remove even small fasteners when working on stuff. You can double or even triple the layers depending how tight the socket fits. They sell special nylon lined lug nut sockets and inserts that don’t scratch, but the plastic bag trick is cheaper. A few times, I even lined a socket with heavy duty duct tape to ensure no damage to the fastener.

I messaged the seller and the black lugnuts on his website are the same as he is selling on ebay.
