Lug Nut Cover Replacement

I just recently noticed I had a lost a "bullet" - the chrome lug nut cover thingy (OK, so I'm not so technical ).

When I was stopped at a truck store I looked and there were bins of these things, they all looked alike to me but were in seperate compartments on the shelf. And sure enough, they are different sizes.

So, how do I know what is the right size for my coach?

I'm pretty sure the size of the lug bolts are the same but the style of the covers varies by taste. Some are longer some are flashy, some are rounded some are pointed what ever. Just take on off and take it with you. They pry right off.

That's the best advice-- pop one off and take it with you. I think there may be a few different lug nut sizes, so you need to measure or compare.

X2, just take one of your current ones off and take it inside to get one the same. Most just push on and held by friction, but some are threaded. Most of the cheap bullet covers push on though.
