Looking to replace the stock chrome lugs on our 2022 Trail Boss with some black chrome ones any suggestions ?
Thanks

That's what I have been doing as well as searching eBay. It seems like the coating on the GM ones would outlast the PVD coating on the aftermarket ones too.I'm another one of those that got the GM ones with the wheel locks. Iirc, about $250 shipped, but that was 3 years ago. If you do a Google shopping search of the GM part number you might be able to find a good deal. That's how I find most of my stuff.
I don't know anything about PVD coatings and aftermarket lug nuts. If that's anything like the black coatings on metal valve stem caps you buy off Amazon then it definitely won't last as long as the GM lug nuts finish. That only lasts a few months, but the black GM lug nuts have been all over the country and seem all types of weather and terrain and only the edges are just now starting to shine.That's what I have been doing as well as searching eBay.

At least 7 sets. Based on how quickly the black finish dissappears from the cheap stuff you'd be buying 7 more in 3 years just to ensure you have black lugnuts. Given that I'm rolling into year 4 and my lugnuts are still black I'll say that buying once and crying once has paid for itself.Damn, for that price think how many of the $35 or less sets from ebay you can buy!
Amazon. https://a.co/d/ftOFTGH.Whet did you find a nonmarring socket? Our lug nuts are 22mm. The largest nonmarring socket I've found is 21mm.
