Buy the black plastic for 30 bucks and be done with it. They look nice. Don't have to worry about them.

Have the same issue. Tried painting, but that didn't last long at all. Was looking at the covers, but they won't cover the locking lug. (Went on Amazon and found bunches of different colors too. Thought that might be pretty neat.)

So I either need to buy 4 new lugs and 20 covers or come up with a solution to make the locking lug look pretty too.

Maybe I'll just get these.

Once I figure out the correct size.

For starters, throw away the locking lug bolts
