Take the cover off by putting the plastic cover remover(should be in the trunk near the jack, in is gray and about 5 inches in dia.) in the slots on the cover and twist slightly. You will have to judge for yourself what they look like on the new wheels.

I know this going to sound real dumb, but here goes. I have a set of 18" bmw rims coming to replace the 16" original basketweaves. Since I don't know how to get to the existing lug nuts (under cover) to look at them, will I need to get different lug nuts for my new rims which don't have a lug cover and the lugs will now be exposed?

Mainly concerned about the looks...but while I'm at it, anyone using locking lugs?

Thanks for humoring me.
