Lug Nut Upgrade

I've yet to meet anyone who likes the sheet metal wrapped OEM lug nuts. They are universally hated. It's just a matter of time until your tire technician spins the sheet metal with an impact gun. My Blackwing came with M12 X 1.5 stainless lug nuts (and lug nut locks). I decided to preemptively replace them and since my wheels are satin graphite I switched to black.

In the past I've used McGard but the RPO SPY black lug nuts (GM 85553525) are actually nice. Instead of ordering as a $275 option, I paid $100 less and installed them after I got the car.

Aluminum US Flag

I'm not really big on putting decals or bumper stickers on my vehicles but I like displaying the US flag. I got this aluminum flag from ebay.
