Ther's a lot of nut covers on e-bay, listed for specific cars. Also choice of colour black or silver usually. New bolts are not that expensive, also on e-bay, might be worthwhile treating the wheels to a set of new bolts

Just bought a set of refurbed Hairpins for my ZT.

New centre caps from ebay & a new set of chrome wheel bolts & chrome locking wheel bolts.

A nice set of Richbrook anti-theft valve caps & chrome sleeves for the valves just to finish the job off.

There are new genuine Grey/Silver bolts available but it seems the Black ones are harder to come by.

give the bolts the OEM look and refinish them with a matt black finish.

i tried the chrome plastic bolt covers but found them a bit bling,but that's only my opinion.
