2005 Base model with 16 inch alloys . I,m searching for replacement lug nuts. Years ago some one posted the part number, description for it avail at one of the auto parts stores.
It did not have the dreaded chrome cover on it.
Thanks for any help.

They are good quality and a great price!

Update: I ordered the White Knight brand and they seem to be fine. The size is the same as what was on our 2005 Vibe. I found this to be the same brand as being sold for more cost at a nearby Costco and AZ. The chrome looks good and only time will tell how they hold up. 15 of the 20 old lugs were swollen so much that my 13/16" socket would not fit all the way on them at 235k miles.

Thanks for continuing the thread. I need to get a new set and I imagine many Vibe owners will need to do as well shortly. I had to use a 22mm socket to fit on several during a recent tire event. My 21mm would not go over a couple of the lugs at all.
I have looked at a few of those sets on Amazon but it seemed many are suggesting the plating is thin with rust corrosion ruining the chrome within 12 months or so. Just two weeks ago I was at Discount Tire and I looked at the set they sell for $50. They looked fine, but I don't know if they are similar to the Amazon set or any better because it's hard to tell of quality when looking at a new lug.

I also preemptively bought the Amazon lug nuts that SSizler linked to, assuming mine were going to be bad ('06 base, alloys with 215K). Turns out my lug nuts are fine...which was very surprising. The ones from Amazon look to be decent quality, even though they are only about $1 each. I haven't installed them but will keep them on the shelf to use if/when needed.
