Lug Nut Covers

[DPViper]

I was putting my wheels on the car and I noticed 4 of my lug nut covers (the thin metal cover on the lug nut) are loose and easily slide off the lug nut. If one flew off while I was driving, it could do some real damage. Does anyone know how to "fix" this? Do I need to replace the lug nuts or can the covers be glued in place? Thanks for the help.

I've had this happen on other cars but not my Viper (yet). For my boat trailer, I bought solid billet lug nuts to mitigate rust. If I remember correctly, they were about $4 each but they were very nice - any no worries about cheap lug nut "caps" coming off.

You might want to check these out too as I have had great luck with them. Remember never use a impact gun on your chrome lug nuts.
